The US Deputy Secretary of Defence, responsible for international security affairs, hosted a triple signing ceremony for the bilateral roadmaps in defence cooperation with representatives from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in mid-December 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The basis for strong relations between the Baltic States and the United States is long-term and multifaceted cooperation. The roadmap is intended to guide the national security cooperative relationship through 2028 as the United States works to improve capabilities and interoperability between the U.S. and Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian militaries. In addition, the agreements express the intent of the U.S. Secretary of Defence to ensure a permanent rotational presence of U.S. forces in each of the Baltic states.<\/p>\n

The roadmaps promote cooperation in the areas of integrated air and missile defence, maritime awareness, cyberspace, irregular warfare, participation in international military operations, multinational exercises, training and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

Cooperation plans will always prioritise measures that help countries achieve NATO's capability goals, build and maintain a credible NATO deterrent in the Baltic Sea and adequately counter threats in the region.<\/p>\n

One of these multinational maritime projects is the major exercise \"Northern Coasts\", which has been taking place since 2007 and is used by NATO allies and partners to train naval warfare, jointly develop tactics and procedures or to test new technical systems in practice. This year, the German Navy conducted \"Northern Coasts 2023\" with its command and control organisation German Maritime Forces (DEU MARFOR) in Rostock<\/span><\/abbr>. A total of 14 naval units from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the USA took part.<\/p>\n
