20 years ago, #Lithuania joined NATO, standing strong in unity with our allies. Together, we've upheld peace and security, showing that #WeAreNATO - one for all and all for one.
Today Lithuania celebrates 20 year NATO Membership. Years that brought peace, justice and prosperity. A necessary umbrella for security. And 🇱🇹 has shown itself being a steadfast ally. In the true spirit of NATO.
Thank you @ZygisPavilionis for sharing lessons learned from #Lithuania's #EU accession journey with #Moldovan parliamentarians and ministry staff. Lithuania is a lighthouse for #democracy in the region and you are one if its great lightkeepers. @NEDemocracy #BEIPTI @irimoldova

With 15 young Moldovan politicians representing 12 political parties in the @Europarl_PL Meetings with MEPs from 3 political groups @rozathun from @RenewEurope, @SMuresan from @EPPGroup and @juozas_olekas from @TheProgressives Program organised by @IRIglobal Supported be @USAID
Today is Constitution Day in #Belarus. There are more than 1,500 political prisoners. I would add the Constitution to their number, too. It became the very first victim of the regime. After the transition to democracy, our new Constitution will ensure that tyranny never returns.
.@SenJohnMcCain was @IRIglobal Chairman for 25 years. He was a champion of freedom because he was once deprived of it himself. He understood that all people, of every culture & creed, aspire to liberty. He set an example for us all of how to serve a cause greater than ourselves.

.@general_ben opening the annual #RUSCONF co-organized with @BALTDEFCOL, @IRIglobal & others. Support for Ukraine is key to stopping Russia’s threat to the democratic world. @NEDemocracy #BEIPTI Listen here: rusconf.eu
Lieutenant General (Ret.) @general_ben highlights the importance of strong declarations of the strategic objective of #Ukranian victory at the Annual Conference on #Russia, supported by @IRIglobal through the Baltic-Eurasia Inter-Parliamentary Training Institute. @NEDemocracy
#Lithuania's @LRSeimas hosted @armparliament staff on @IRIglobal parliamentary exchange visit. Valuable and productive discussions on enhancing citizen engagement and assuring transparency through administrative support for democratic parliaments. #BEIPTI @NEDemocracy
Important discussions at the 2024 #VilniusSecurityForum in #Lithuania on shared challenges and opportunities to enhance regional security, a key tenet of the @IRIglobal Baltic-Eurasia Inter-Parliamentary Training Institute program. #BEIPTI

The #Belarus regime's so-called elections today fail to meet any democratic standards, resembling more a military operation against its own citizens, the constitution & common sense. I urge Belarusians & the international community to categorically reject this sham.
