Defence Strategic Communications Conference
New Narratives for a New World Order? The Challenge for Middle Powers
Tuesday 9 June 2026 | Central London
In partnership with

Lord Robertson will open the 2026 Defence Strategic Communications Conference at a time of heightened global security threats and geopolitical shifts that threaten the foundations of the international order.

In the context of the ongoing war being waged by Russia on Ukraine and pressures on the NATO alliance, this conference will explore the defence and security narratives that will define the next few years: narratives about sovereignty and interdependence, resilience and cooperation, security and sustainability. Can what Mark Carney referred to at Davos as the ‘middle powers’ act as stabilisers in a fragmenting world? Through collaboration and cohesion can they bridge the divides, provide calm diplomacy, and shape a more inclusive and rules-based order?
