The WSF International Advisory Council is a group of distinguished foreign policy and security leaders, formed to give advice and support to the Warsaw Security Forum. The Council’s role is threefold: a) to advise on the strategic direction of the Warsaw Security Forum’s development; b) to extend the Warsaw Security Forum’s outreach and relevance to the Transatlantic security debate; c) to provide advice and diverse perspectives on developments in Council members’ own regions, along with candid insights into how Poland and its policies are received abroad.
