PSSI’s Director of Operations, Kristína Sikoraiová, participated in the 2nd International Symposium on Space Security, hosted by the Korean Academy of Space Security (KASS) in Seoul on November 5-6, 2025.  She contributed to a panel moderated by Marco Aliberti (ESPI), alongside Kota Umeda (Institute of Geoeconomics) and Yoo Joon-Koo (The Sejong Institute). The discussion explored how middle powers can translate strategic alignment into operational cooperation amid intensifying geopolitical competition and rapid technological change. Panelists examined the policy instruments, institutional mechanisms, and trust-building measures needed to make international space security collaboration more resilient and results-oriented.

They also underscored the distinctive role of non-governmental organizations and think tanks in this process — not only as conveners and analysts, but as enablers of cross-regional dialogue, data-driven policy design, and actionable partnerships linking governments, industry, and academia.

During her visit, Ms. Sikoraiová also met with colleagues at the prestigious Institute for National Security Strategy (INSS) to discuss Europe’s rapidly transforming space security landscape, including the nuances of technological dependencies, counterspace developments, and allied deterrence efforts.

PSSI remains deeply committed to advancing substantive trans-regional dialogue and strengthening cooperation between transatlantic and Asian partners working toward a secure, sustainable, and stable space domain.
