Polish-Lithuanian intergovernmental consultations in Vilnius

17.09.2020

– One of the topics of my today’s conversation with the Minister of National Defence of Lithuania were issues related with ensuring the security of the eastern flank of NATO. An important element and factor in this process is cooperation with the USA. The agreement on the permanent and enhanced presence of US troops in Poland undoubtedly deters a potential aggressor and positively effects the security of NATO's eastern flank – stated Mariusz Błaszczak, the Minister of National Defence after the meeting with the Minister of National Defence of Lithuania.
