Hudson Institute

In 1991, one year after the Baltic States regained their independence, Hudson Institute hosted the prime ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania at its Conference on the Baltics—the first ever such event outside the Baltic region. The United States has since developed a special relationship with each country, marked by their accession to NATO and the EU in 2004. Together, these countries constitute the easternmost members of both the EU and NATO.
Now, after years of calm, the security and political situation in Europe is again at a crossroads. The Russian intervention in Ukraine and the political crises of the EU pose increasing challenges to Europe. A quarter century after the Conference on the Baltic States, Hudson Institute is honored to host the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to discuss the view from Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius—and the opportunities and challenges confronting each. Join us on Tuesday, March 28 for this important discussion.
 Sven Mikser has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia since November 23, 2016. He has been a member of the Social Democratic Party since 2005 and served as Minister of Defense from 2014 to 2015. Edgars Rinkēvičs has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia since October 25, 2011. Previously, he served as Head of the Chancery of the President of Latvia from 2008 to 2011. Linas Linkevičius has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania since December 13, 2012. Previously, he served as the Permanent Representative of Lithuania to the North Atlantic Council and twice as the Minister of Defense from 1993 to 1996 and 2000 to 2004.
