On Monday, President Gitanas Nausėda met with President Karol Nawrocki of Poland. The meeting took place following the opening of the Via Baltica motorway, on a symbolic day marking the 234th anniversary of the Mutual Pledge of the Two Nations.
President Nausėda emphasized that relations between Lithuania and Poland remain exceptionally close and are founded on shared strategic interests. Ongoing projects such as Via Baltica, Rail Baltica and Harmony Link strengthen both countries' economies, military mobility and transport connectivity.
The two leaders discussed regional security issues and threats posed by Russia, including the Zapad 2025 military exercise and ongoing airspace violations. They agreed that enhancing regional security is a top priority. This requires coordinated action, strengthening of defense industry capacities and deterrence, and effective airspace protection. During the meeting, they also discussed the possibility of holding joint military exercises in the Suwałki region.
According to the President, Poland remains Lithuania's largest trading partner and a priority market for cooperation in innovation and high technologies - particularly in defense industry, life sciences, ICT, engineering, laser technologies, fintech, and CleanTech.
President Nausėda also thanked Poland for its contribution to the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis.
