🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻The first panel of the Conference, moderated by Joosep Värk, an Estonian journalist, addressed why the Baltic States' resilience matters to all of Europe.

The discussion welcomed H.E. Margus Tsahkna, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia, Artjoms Uršuļskis, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Enn Eesmaa, Member of the Presidium of the Baltic Assembly, Giedrius Drukteinis, Vice President of the Baltic Assembly, and Uģis Rotbergs, Vice Chair of the Security and Defence Committee of the Baltic Assembly.

The panelists highlighted multiple topics:

✊They stressed that the Baltic States are effectively the “gates” protecting European democratic values, and that must be protected at all costs.

💻Much attention went to Russian propaganda, cyber threats, and cognitive warfare. Speakers agreed that the Baltic States have become more experienced at countering disinformation; however, societies remain vulnerable.

🤝Cooperation among the Baltic States, EU and NATO unity, and formats such as the Baltic Assembly and NB8 were described as essential.

🚅Rail Baltica and Via Baltica were discussed not just as transport projects but as strategic infrastructure linking the Baltics firmly to Europe and reducing dependence on former systems.

Finally, they reflected on history and how the Baltic States fought to regain independence and international recognition!

🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻Today, the annual Conference of the Baltic Assembly and the Baltic Council of Ministers is taking place in Tallinn, Estonia!

Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Baltic Assembly, the discussions are focusing on building resilient Baltic States and their 35 years of collective action in international and regional affairs.

➡️During the opening session Timo Suslov, President of the Baltic Assembly, highlighted that over these 35 years, the Baltic Assembly has become a symbol of what can be achieved when countries are united by common values and purpose. “Together, we have demonstrated that resilience means the ability to adapt, support each other, and act together in the face of uncertainty,” he emphasised.

➡️H.E. Arvo Aller, Second Vice-President of the Riigikogu, stated that today’s discussion addresses issues that concern all - security threats, disinformation, and others. Close cooperation and exchange of information with partners is important. It is also important that these issues are discussed here at the political level.

➡️H.E. Margus Tsahkna, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia, stated that in 1991, nobody believed the Baltic States would become full members of the EU and NATO, however, they made it possible. Now, resilience must be the core topic. Additionally, focus should also be put on the value of democracy and keeping Baltic societies united as it has proved to be a target.
