Actions that heighten tensions undermine regional security and stability. International law and the peaceful resolution of disputes must be respected.
Developments in Euroatlantic, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific theatres remind us that our security is increasingly interconnected.
#BalticWay 🇱🇻🇪🇪🇱🇹 – a human chain of 2 million people stretching from Tallinn, through Riga, to Vilnius. This non-violent protest on 23 August 1989 captured the world's attention as the three Baltic nations clearly expressed their will for freedom and independence, and declared that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, signed exactly 50 years earlier, was a crime committed by totalitarian regimes.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, we remain united to this day through our actions, our thoughts, and our unwavering support for Ukraine.
