Conferinta de securitate MunichIn Munich took place the 49th edition of Security Conference where leading politicians, diplomats and leaders have offered a preview of this year’s international relations. The first conference was held in 1962 and was organized by German publisher Ewald von Kleist. Originally conference with only the military defense problems later expanded thematic area by addressing issues of international and global military strategic interest. Is the most important event marking the beginning of each year calendaritic. 2013 has brought over 350 conference rooms politicians from 50 countries worldwide.

Conference is a private action and constitutes a platform for informal meetings where consultations are important for future high-level political decision, which was also attended by government officials from around the world chancelleries or international institutions. At the recent session attended by Vice President John Biden, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and British Prime Minister David Cameron. For agenda, conference coordinator, Wolfgang Ischinger established three main themes: the dangers of cyber attacks, jeopardizing global security, following the global economic crisis and the issue of security in crisis regions, safety strategies and the role of NATO. On the agenda were issues such as the situation in Syria and boiling in Mali, the Iranian nuclear file and the situation in Egypt. Let us remember that last year’s meeting, the organizer Ischinger, and doubted that any resignation of President Mubarak in Egypt will trigger a spring democratic was right: real crisis usually starts only after a regime obsolete collapsed or were swept away. Ischinger expressed that he expects from European politicians that they take into account the experience acquired from overturning dictatorships of eastern European continent and help Egypt: Egypt Europe has a duty to transmit power to develop a similar awareness. Europe to demonstrate that there is always, now and in the future, the progress, openness, democracy, the rule of law. This help to offer. That we can do. What is happening now in Egypt is also a consequence of how the European chancelleries responded in 2012.

This year’s conference was attended by U.S. Vice President Biden John whose word has unveiled global geopolitical lines for next years U.S. policy in Obama’s second term, as in 2009 when the Obama administration took the first term in the White House. Europeans jubilant this time because Vice President reaffirmed that America and Europe will remain close allies in the future – oldest and closest Allies. Europe is the cornerstone of our engagement with the world and our global catalyst for cooperation and continued Biden said nothing has changed (not the relationship of us). Obama administration announcement that Washington will be strategic pivot Asia-Pacific region has created fears among European elites. Thus, Biden was forced to state the reasons which have led to success in the last decade trasaclantice alliance: cooperation with Europe in Afghanistan and Libya but also in cooperation with Romania missile shield foretold Spain and Turkey. The conclusion is that America will be a power Atlantic and a Pacific power.

History story of the new concept started here in Munich last year when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s declaration that called for Europe to America to attend with a century of developments in Asia-Pacific area scene. The call was repeated this time Biden: We have a strong interest in the Asia-Pacific region is growing. So we will intensify our efforts to achieve these interests going forward together. The conference represented a major step in bringing to the forefront of the dialogue between Moscow and Washington. Vice President Biden and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met tet-a-tet. It was a meeting after resetting bilateral relations. The meeting U.S. Vice President said that Washington and Moscow continue to have differences of opinion regarding Syria, Iran, missile defense, expanding the North Atlantic, human rights and democracy issues.

Reasons “real” difference with Russia, Biden recalled treatment imposed by Russia two breakaway regions of Georgia. Joe Biden said the U.S. will not recognize the independence of breakaway regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Russia recognized that states that Washington claims that any sovereign state has the right to choose their alliances they want. In turn Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, was classified as hate speech in 2007 when Putin urged the West to stop interfering in the internal affairs of Russia. Russia appeared again determined to reject any foreign intervention in Syria and Assad to remain in control of chemical weapons arsenal. And this time America is prepared to overcome frustrations regarding missile shield Russia and develop new proposals for cooperation on other issues, proposals to be unveiled by the voice of national security adviser Thomas Donilon so as to continue the dialogue on arms nuclear, including non-strategic nuclear weapons that they want Russian troops outside the control of strategic agreements limit. An understanding on these issues would be productive President Obama’s visit to Russia in the summer of 2013. Disagreements between Russia and America are not due only technical issues or specific problems they rădăci in domestic politics Russia or administrative mobilization by the Kremlin nationalist political base for solving internal or external.

But the Obama administration is determined to continue reset relations with Russia on a range of issues in the second term. Let us not forget that the speech inaugurated President Obama said: A decade of war has ended. Yes, Eisenhower Doctrine reântoarce the White House. Vice President Joseph Biden speaks eloquently in public about transatlantic cooperation but behind closed doors, its main message is that America and its European allies need a new way of thinking in this world lipăsită responsibilities of predictability. Iran remained on Washington agenda so cume told us it even U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden has thrown down the gauntlet Iranian government declared that the Obama administration is willing to begin bilateral talks with Tehran without conditions. Biden, naturally, did not reveal what the U.S. would put on the table. For this reason when Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s foreign minister, went to stand there was a huge interest in the conference room. The audience really wanted to know what Iran says about the U.S. offer. Salehi is one of the most experienced diplomats in the Middle East. Salehi said – No barriers – adding – We want these negotiations to take place on an equal basis. We want negotiations to be comprehensive. Is this progress? Not for a few days Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s highest authority rejected the U.S. offer saying it does not resolve bilateral issues between the two countries. Iran sees how the world is simply too different from any Western perspective. Why is it important for Europe meeting in Munich? After the 2009 conference of President Obama’s first term was marked by a demotion from the position of Europe as the main partner of the United States. Four years ago, the informal forum held in Munich, Vice President Joe Biden Washington’s relationship with Moscow reorientation place (so-called “reset”) in the foreground. In the time since then, the White House put the utmost importance on “Asia pivot”, redirecting its diplomacy and security policies according to new interest located in the Pacific. Biden Assistance Grant this year, composed of influential actors in the global political scene and skilful diplomatic language translators that U.S. power should be understood as both Atlantic and Pacific. Beyond this strategic placement, nothing is agreed for the very developments in the Asia-Pacific are unpredictable.

Because of this Europe and the United States must consider strategies on Asia in a joint effort, not parallel and, in any event, not competition. What caused the head of the White House Administration to change the tone from 2009? Rule out an instant passion for transatlantic space. Asia and China are important and their importance will increase, however, Europe remains the largest economic area linked to the U.S. market (U.S. $ 600 billion trade) and this could be seen most recently during the European sovereign debt crisis, whose repercussions were fully felt in the U.S. market. So, to thank for that crisis gave a new impetus to bilateral relations in the shadows? Joe Biden’s reference to the importance of the transatlantic relationship and the transatlantic free trade agreement is more than just a courtesy. Europe is the pillar on which rests all of America’s global engagement.
