The CSIS Statesmen's Forum provides global political leaders the opportunity to present their views about critical policy issues before a group of U.S. government executive and legislative branch officials, foreign diplomats, academic and regional experts, leaders from the corporate community, and the media.

The series gives those who have professional responsibility for policy determination and interpretation a chance to assess the positions and perspectives of global leaders and to engage them in dialogue.
