At the Summit, Lithuania will seek decisions that would significantly enhance the defense of the Baltic region and NATO’s eastern flank.
“It is obvious that Russia poses a long-term military threat to the Alliance, which is why reinforcing land, sea, and air defense in the Baltic region and throughout NATO’s eastern flank is essential. This is the only way to prevent further aggression by the Kremlin,” the President of Lithuania said.
In Madrid, Lithuania will also support Finland’s and Sweden’s applications to join NATO. Their accession would significantly strengthen security in the Baltic Sea region.
President Gitanas Nausėda will also hold bilateral meetings with the leaders of NATO member countries and partners at the Summit.
