Lithuania and the United States discussed important items on regional security agenda
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius and the United States Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland discussed the implementation of decisions on NATO’s adaptation to the changed security environment in the run-up to the NATO Summit in Warsaw.
In the meeting, the officials also exchanged their opinions on Russia’s role in the conflicts in eastern Ukraine and Syria. The meeting was dominated by a consensus that sanctions against Russia should remain in place until full implementation of the Minsk agreements on the resolution of the situation in eastern Ukraine. The officials discussed issues related to defence cooperation among the United States of America, the Baltic and the Nordic countries, as well as energy security and the need to strengthen the dialogue with the Eastern Partnership countries.
Nuland came to Lithuania to participate in the traditional informal ‘Snow Meeting’ of Lithuanian and foreign diplomats, analysts and experts in security policy and international affairs that takes place in Paunguriai, the district of Trakai.
