"In the current situation, the presence of allies, including the U.S., in our region is extremely important to us," Mikser stressed. The three Baltic foreign ministers thanked the U.S. for its long-term contributions to the security of the Baltic states. Ryan affirmed that the U.S. continues to support the current supportive policy toward NATO.

The importance of transatlantic solidarity was also emphasized at the meeting. "In a situation where hostile propaganda is used to undermine Western democracies, we must cooperate more and strengthen our capability to oppose propaganda," Mikser said. "It is especially important that messages sent by allies are consistent and clear."

The three Baltic ministers also met with Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Bob Corker and Ranking Member Ben Cardin, with whom they discussed security affairs, emphasized the need to strengthen democratic institutions as well as support a common stance in the fight against propaganda.
