Key messages:

  • Germany is not only one of our biggest economic partners but also a strategic ally whose troops help ensure the security of Lithuania.

  • We all must make a great effort to ensure that historic agreement on climate change, signed by world leaders, does not remain on paper.

  • Maintaining a constant focus on Eastern partner countries and strengthening ties is important for stability of the whole region and its economic development.

  • Russia’s hybrid warfare, aggressive and unpredictable behavior, hostile propaganda which incites hatred and is against our societies, as well as cyber attacks – they all destroy peace and security in Europe.
