    This year’s #GNBF2024 kicks off in Vilnius, hosted by Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University | VU TSPMI. After welcome remarks from Ingrida Šimonytė, Anna Lührmann, Funda Tekin, and Vilius Mačkinis, the opening discussion centred on EU and NATO security and defence cooperation. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania | #StandWithUkraine#StandWithUkraine) shared a Baltic perspective in his keynote speech which was followed by a panel discussion with Malena Britz (Försvarshögskolan - Swedish Defence University) and Cornelius Zimmermann (German Embassy to Lithuania) that brought in Nordic and German viewpoints. In light of the shifting global security architecture, bolstering the cohesion and interplay between both organisations is crucial. At #GNBF2024 experts and strategists gather to seek solutions.   #EU #NATO #Security #Defence #Democracy #Resilience #Zeitenwende
