The Vice President represented the United States at last year’s conference, returning this year to give an expected speech on America’s foreign policy, which has become a crucial issue for American voters ahead of the 2024 elections.
US foreign policy is particularly pertinent after former President Donald Trump made controversial remarks, saying he would “not protect” any Nato member that had failed to meet the two per cent defence spending target.
Ms Harris will also discuss the ongoing war in Gaza.
Escalating violence in Rafah has sparked outrage among Palestine supporters amid calls for the US to place conditions on its military aid to Israel.
World leaders at the event will also hope to shore up support for Ukraine.
The US Senate this week approved a $95bn bill that includes aid to Ukraine, but also includes aid to Israel, which has divided Congress as Israel continues its assault in Rafah.
