22nd IISS Manama Dialogue

The 22nd IISS Manama Dialogue is an annual summit on regional security, held at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain in Manama and organised by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).

The dialogue addresses defense, international security, geopolitics and foreign policy, providing a forum in which ministers, senior officials and analysts discuss the security questions facing the Middle East.

Aimed at a professional audience, the event gathers delegations, diplomats and researchers in Manama for plenary sessions and discussions that examine regional stability, defence cooperation and the international relationships shaping the Gulf. Over its successive editions the dialogue has become one of the region's established platforms for security policy debate.
