Kęstutis Budrys, the Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, is set to participate in the Miami Security Forum from March 18 to 20, 2024, according to an announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The forum will emphasize cooperation between Latin American countries and their transatlantic partners, addressing global security challenges. It aims to facilitate discussions around strengthening partnerships in the Western Hemisphere and improving collaborative efforts in security matters. During the event, Budrys is expected to speak in a discussion about enhancing collaboration between countries in the Western Hemisphere, focusing on the topic 'Leveraging Extra-Hemispheric Partners and Allies in the Americas.' This highlights the significance of building relationships beyond traditional alliances, particularly in areas where regional powers are under threat from hybrid warfare or economic coercion. In addition to his main discussion, Budrys will take part in a roundtable dedicated to sharing Lithuania's experiences in fortifying resilience against hybrid attacks orchestrated by Russia and economic pressures from China. The Miami Security Forum, organized by The Heritage Foundation, brings together policymakers, national security and defense experts, and representatives from the private sector, signifying its importance in the broader context of global security dynamics.
