Discussed w/Enrico Letta the report on 🇪🇺competitiveness & functioning of single market.

EU needs to be ambitious in reviewing EU internal market by removing remaining barriers, creating a single market for defense products, improving connectivity & increasing access to finance.

For NATO collective defense to work, we have to walk the talk.

Lithuania& Germany are doing just that by jointly working on the deployment of 🇩🇪 brigade to 🇱🇹.

Today, the first team of 🇩🇪 contingent is arriving to 🇱🇹.
The agreement I made with Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz is coming to life.

Good conversation with 🇺🇦 PM Denys Shmyhal.

Lithuania is & will remain among the leading supporters of Ukraine. Our support accounts for 2% of GDP.

Ready to deepen partnerships between Lithuanian & Ukrainian investors in the fields of defense industry.

Happy 75th birthday, #NATO !

NATO was designed by collective wisdom to protect peace. Today it provides a guarantee of collective defense to 32 nations.

We are stronger together - committed to defend every inch of NATO territory and to support Ukraine.
