The President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, is scheduled to participate in the upcoming Munich Security Conference, where he will deliver a speech during the main discussion focused on European defense and support for Ukraine. This annual conference serves as a critical platform for defense leaders from various nations to address pressing foreign and security policy challenges facing Europe and beyond. The conference will take place from February 13 to 15, bringing together over 60 international representatives to discuss significant global issues.
In addition to his speech, President Nausėda will engage in important meetings with key German leaders, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hendrik Wüst.

The presence of high-ranking officials from Lithuania, including Foreign Affairs Minister Kęstutis Budrys and Minister of Defense Robertas Kaunas, underscores the importance of Lithuania’s participation in this critical dialogue.
As the conflict in Ukraine continues to generate significant security challenges across Europe, the Munich Security Conference provides a vital forum for collaboration and strategic planning among allies. By addressing issues such as hybrid threats and NATO's frontline experiences, the conference will enable participants to share insights and best practices that could strengthen collective defense strategies in the face of current and emerging threats. The outcomes of these discussions are likely to impact not only bilateral relations between Lithuania and Germany but also overarching European security policy.
