Dear Mr. Keldo,
We trust this message finds you very well.
On behalf of the President of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), Dr. Gabriella Arrigo, the IAF Executive Director, Dr. Christian Feichtinger, and the IAF Special Advisor for Parliamentarian and Ministerial Relations and Belgium Honorary Senator, Dominique Tilmans, it is with great pleasure that we share with you a personal invitation letter for the 16th IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of Parliaments (MMoP), which will take place on Sunday 04 October 2026, in Antalya, Türkiye, during the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC).
This year’s event will focus on “Space Solutions for Resilient Societies: Security, Sustainability and Prosperity”. Our goal is to provide Ministers and Members of Parliaments with the opportunity to engage with peers and experts, exchange best practices, and share their countries’ experiences in the use of space applications.
In preparation for the event, we would like to invite you to participate in a Virtual Preparatory Meeting to be held on Monday 22 June 2026, at 14:00 (CEST), where we will initiate discussions on this important topic and provide all the necessary information to facilitate your participation.
We kindly ask you to confirm, at your earliest convenience, whether you or a representative will attend the Virtual Preparatory Meeting so that we may share the agenda and connection details with you.

16th IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of
Parliaments
“Space Solutions for Resilient Societies: Security,
Sustainability and Prosperity”
Object: Letter of Invitation to attend the IAF International Meeting for Ministers and
Members of Parliaments (IAF MMoP) in Antalya (Sunday, 04 October 2026)
Dear Mr. Keldo,
On behalf of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), we have the honour of inviting you to
participate in the IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of Parliaments (MMoP), to be
held on Sunday, 4 October 2026, in Antalya, Türkiye, in conjunction of the 77th International
Astronautical Congress (IAC 2026).
Hosted by the Republic of Türkiye, IAC 2026 will convene with presence of Ministers, Members of
Parliaments, heads of space agencies, industry leaders and researchers from around the world. The
Landmark Congress will provide also an important platform to strengthen international cooperation and
underscore the contribution of space technologies to global challenges.
The IAF MMoP 2026 will be organized under the overarching theme of “Space Solutions for Resilient
Societies: Security, Sustainability and Prosperity.” The theme reflects the pressing global challenges
facing our societies, including climate change, natural disasters, resource constraints and evolving
security risks, which underscore the importance of space technologies as critical infrastructure
supporting evidence-based policymaking, disaster risk management, climate monitoring, sustainable
development and secure communications.
Building on the theme, the Meeting will address three priority topics:
• Space for Resilience and Climate Action
• Space Governance: Security, Sustainability and Regulation
• Space Entrepreneurship and Innovation Ecosystems
The Meeting will provide a valuable opportunity to exchange national experiences, highlight practical
applications of space-based services and discuss governance approaches that balance innovation,
security and sustainability. Participants will kindly be invited, where appropriate, to share a brief
presentation on relevant national initiatives.
