Internationaler Preis des Westfälischen Friedens 2024

French President Emmanuel Macron will be awarded the Westphalian Peace Prize in Münster during his visit to Germany at the end of May. After months of preparation through confidential diplomatic channels, the Economic Society of Westphalia and Lippe (WWL) has now received final confirmation from the Élysée Palace.

Macron comes to Münster on the third day of his state visit to Germany. The French President is accompanied by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is also chairman of the jury for the International Award of the Peace of Westphalia.

The WWL invited 350 representatives from business, politics and society to the ceremony. Macron is expected to give a political speech. The French President receives the Peace Prize for his tireless commitment to limiting the conflict at the beginning of the Russian attack on Ukraine. He will take up the topic in his speech.

For security reasons, the Economic Society will only announce further details about guests of honor, speakers and program details shortly before the award ceremony.
