Security cooperation in the Baltic Sea region is undergoing profound internal change at the same time as the broader shifts in NATO’s strategic environment are transforming the region’s role and status in the Alliance.

In the preceding NATO Summit held in Brussels, on June 2021, the allied countries endorsed the document “NATO 2030”, a programme designed to develop more political and military strength, as well as a more global organisation in order to face the multiple threats and challenges of the new strategic context.

During the immediate post-Cold War period, the importance of Lithuania, along with other Central-Eastern European countries, to U.S. foreign policy increased.
