Lithuania strengthens Common Security and Defence Policy cooperation with the EU Eastern Partners
Permanent Representation of Lithuania to the EU initiated a Round Table discussion on civilian CSDP cooperation with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine in Brussels on 24 September. Possibilities to contribute to CSDP missions and experience from participation at international missions or hosting such missions were discussed with representatives of European External Action Service and Lithuania.
Lithuanian representative to the EU Political and Security Committee, ambassador Dainius Petras Kamaitis, underlined the necessity to strengthen such cooperation, in particular at the time, when the EU and some of the EU Eastern Partnership countries experience direct challenges to their security.
Participants of the event were briefed about the cooperation among the United Nations (UN), Organisation of European Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), North Atlantic Council Organisation (NATO) and the EU in civilian crisis management.
The discussion at the premises of Lithuanian Representation was the second one on this subject. The first meeting was initiated by Lithuania one year ago, during its Presidency to the Council of EU.
