NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow is visiting Lithuania on 15 and 16 January 2015, to participate in the high-level “Snow Meeting” security conference. On the margins of the forum, Ambassador Vershbow met with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė and Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius.
The “Snow Meeting” is a high-level discussion forum organised on a regular basis by the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry in Trakai and Vilnius. This year’s meeting focuses on “how to protect Western society and values”, particularly in the wake of Russia’s aggressive actions against Ukraine. The session will be attended by senior security experts and government officials, including Estonian Foreign Minister Keit Pentus-Rosimannus, Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs, and Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák.
In his meetings with President Grybauskaitė and Foreign Minister Linkevičius, the Deputy Secretary General discussed the implementation of NATO’s Readiness Action Plan, and its crucial role in reassuring member states in the eastern part of the Alliance. He further commended Lithuania for its efforts to increase defence spending, in line with the defence investment pledge made at last September’s Wales Summit.
