Minister of National Defence Arvydas Anušauskas, Minister of Defence of Latvia Artis Pabriks and Minister of Defence of Estonia Kalle Laanet will discuss regional security and cooperation in the European Union and NATO.
Ministers will also consolidate the areas of a closer cooperation between the Baltic states with a joint communique.
Lithuania chairs the Baltic Defence Cooperation in 2021. Areas of the most intense Baltic defence cooperation are joint officer training at the Baltic Defence College, NATO Air Policing, naval forces, and joint exercises in the recent years.
The countries also synchronise capability planning, coordinate joint procurement, organise joint training events, exercises, seminars, and carry out cooperation of individual armed services. One more important priority in the Baltic cooperation is development of simplified procedures for deployment and movement of allied capabilities in the Baltic states.
