RT @DSakaliene: Today I had the honour to speak at the @IISS_org Shangri La Dialogue #SLD25, during the Fifth Plenary Session on Cross-Regional Security Interlinkages

For decades we comforted ourselves with illusion that trade will give birth to democracy within authoritarian regimes, but reality has taught us otherwise. The new axis of evil teamed up quite efficiently in a coordinated effort to end the rules based world order.

In response, we must build unified, determined front. #Europe 🇪🇺 and the #IndoPacific must stand together 💪

In #Lithuania 🇱🇹, we are taking concrete action —just days ago, I signed our @Lithuanian_MoD #IndoPacific strategy.

We can and we WILL retain our way of life. Our resolve must be heard and nothing amplifies the sound of resolve better than hard and visible power.

#StrongerTogether

Lithuanian MOD 🇱🇹

RT @IISS_org: Speaking at #SLD25, Japan’s Minister of Defense Nakatani Gen called for countries ‘not to allow the erosion of the rules-based order, but to restore it; not to ignore accountability, but to uphold it; not to undermine the international public good, but to advance it’ @ModJapan_en | Watch his speech: https://t.co/D4Nq0DaQlJ
