Canada’s determination to lead the Enhanced Forward Presence Battalion in one of the Baltic States is a crucial security and deterrence factor throughout the region” – writes His Excellency Gitanas Nausėda, President of the Republic of Lithuania.
Speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania, Viktoras Pranckietis, stressed in his greeting a successful bilateral cooperation and long lasting partnership of both countries in international organisations.
