Lithuanian president welcomes new ambassador of Denmark

According to the President, Lithuanian-Danish cooperation in the EU and NATO is based on the principle of mutual understanding. The President thanked Denmark for its significant contribution to setting up a NATO Force Integration Unit in Vilnius. This center of the Alliance will be headed by Danish army colonel Jakob Søgård Larsen.

This year, Denmark is coordinating cooperation between eight Nordic and Baltic countries (NB8). Among the other issues discussed at the meeting were priority issues of NB8 relating to Ukraine and the Eastern Partnership as well as to energy and information security. The President highlighted the importance of information security in order to ensure greater resistance of societies to manipulations and hostile propaganda.
