Foreign Affairs Committee is meeting its Baltic counterparts with a focus on regional security

Today, the Foreign Affairs Committee delegation is meeting their colleagues from the Foreign Affairs Committees of the Latvian and Lithuanian parliaments to discuss the latest developments in security as well as issues related to China and Russia.

“The interconnectedness of the three Baltic states and their close cooperation is unique from the global perspective,” said the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson. “Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania sitting together and speaking as one is a rare example of regional unity. Keeping up this unity along with a strong and permanent cooperation is vital for the security of our region, particularly in the context of ever-increasing tensions,” he added.

The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee expects the discussions to focus on the latest developments on the EU and NATO borders as well as the border regions of Ukraine. Questions surrounding China and Russia will be on the agenda as well. The delegations will also visit the Tapa Army Base.
