Lithuania celebrates five years of NATO membership
01 April 2009
1 MIN READ
On 29 March 2004 Lithuania joined the Alliance together with Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. To celebrate the country’s five years of NATO membership, along with the Alliance’s 60th Anniversary, NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division organized a two-days speaking tour with the Permanent Representative of Lithuania, Ambassador Linas Linkevicius.
On 27 and 28 March, the Ambassador participated in numerous radio and TV programmes, engaged with virtual audiences on the internet, and exchanged views with students, academic and security experts in various locations throughout the country.
Audiences were particulalry interested in the future of the Alliance and the new Strategic Concept which, the Ambassador underlined, should "reflect on the new security challenges without compromising collective security arrangements - these remain the key of the Alliance".
The speaking tour is part of a larger public diplomacy initiative, carried out jointly by NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division and the Centre of Eastern Geopolitical Studies, a major think-tank in Lithuania. Entitled “We are NATO. NATO is Us”, this series of events aims at promoting debate on NATO and broader security issues.
