At the second day of a visit to Lithuania, NATO Deputy Secretary General Ambassador Alexander Vershbow and the 28 ambassadors of the North Atlantic Council met in Vilnius with President Dalia Grybauskaitė on Thursday (24 March 2016) and discussed NATO’s adaptation to meet new security challenges.
Speaking at a joint press conference with President Grybauskaitė, Deputy Secretary General Vershbow thanked Lithuania for its major contributions to the Alliance’s shared security. Mr. Vershbow praised Lithuania’s participation in NATO missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo and commended Lithuania for hosting the Energy Security Centre of Excellence, as well as the new NATO Force Integration Unit.
The North Atlantic Council is also visiting the Rukla military training area on Thursday, where Lithuanian and American troops are training side-by-side. Mr. Vershbow said that is a concrete example of Europe and North America standing strong together. He also noted that Lithuania declared its independence from the Soviet Union twenty six-years ago and that today the Alliance is committed to ensuring that Lithuania never loses its freedom again.
