Wilton Park is a global forum for strategic discussion organising over 50 events a year in the UK and overseas, bringing together leading representatives from the worlds of politics, business, academia, diplomacy, civil society and media. We focus on issues of international security, prosperity and justice. Our meetings provide a neutral environment where conflicting views can be expressed and debated openly and calmly, allowing acceptable compromise and resolution to be achieved. We encourage innovation in global thinking by provoking lively debate and promote inclusivity among the policy-makers and opinion formers. Discussions are non-attributable to encourage frank exchanges and open dialogue.
As a key theme throughout our 60 year history, Wilton Park discussions on defence and security cover policy and capability, effective conduct of stabilisation and counter-insurgency operations, the prevention of the spread of weapons of mass destruction, biosecurity and the verification of multilateral agreements. The security programme addresses NATO priorities, defence systems and state intelligence. Over 20 years we have acquired a global reputation for our work in support of international policy on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. We have helped achieve successful outcomes in the diplomatic and political processes relating to the regimes for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons as well as their delivery vehicles.
