This year’s meeting revolved around bilateral cooperation in security and defence in the context of a Polish–British Security and Defence Treaty in the making, whose signing had been announced by both countries’ prime ministers Donald Tusk and Keir Starmer this past January. 

The Belvedere Forum brought together Polish and British experts from think tanks, academia, industry, and the government. It featured discussion panels which focused on security, broadly understood, covering such topics as international order or economic and energy security.
