During the conference, she is expected to highlight the importance of coordinated actions among EU and NATO member states in enhancing the defense of the EU's external borders, especially in light of geopolitical tensions with Russia and Belarus. Her advisor stated that the Prime Minister would also discuss Lithuania's contributions towards these efforts and the necessity of continuing comprehensive support for Ukraine amidst ongoing challenges.

The conference will showcase the European Commission's strategy aimed at strengthening support for the Eastern EU countries that border Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. This strategy underscores the EU's commitment to bolstering its eastern borders against external pressures and ensuring the security of member states in that region.

In addition to discussions on security, the Prime Minister’s schedule includes meetings with various leaders, including European Council President Antonio Costa and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. There will also be dialogues with the Prime Ministers of the other Baltic states and a session with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. These engagements not only serve to strengthen bilateral relations but also highlight Lithuania's proactive role in shaping regional security policies and investment initiatives in Eastern Europe, such as the program "EastInvest Facilitator.
