At the invitation of Lithuania, the British officials are today visiting also other institutions of the country.
The meeting discussed security cooperation between Lithuania and the United Kingdom. According to Lithuania’s Foreign Vice-Minister, Lithuania is interested in strengthening bilateral relations with the United Kingdom in the spheres of crisis and risk management, and the fight against hybrid threats. Our experts take a great interest in the UK’s experience in increasing the country’s resilience to emergencies.
Whilst implementing the Programme of the Government of Lithuania, the country is currently negotiating the establishment of an integrated system for crisis management and preventing hybrid threats.
