2010/05/08
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Let me congratulate all of you on this wonderful occasion – the 20th anniversary of the US-Baltic foundation.
Dear friends!
Because we are celebrating the historic anniversary let me first of all tell some words about the history and than I shall talk about the future.
On history: I am still a young person, though I was born 53 years ago.
I was born 3 years after the bloody suppression of the military resistance of freedom fighters against the occupation in Lithuania.
6 years before my birth, Schuman declaration had been published, which laid foundations for the United Europe.
Speech by Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania Andrius Kubilius in Chisinau, Moldova, during the opening of Lithuanian Aula at the Free International University of Moldova

Dear students, dear professors, ladies and gentlemen
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be with you today at the Free International University of Moldova. It is an honor to open the Lithuanian lecture room in the presence of Moldovan students. People who are about to build the history of their country in a near future. People who will be decision makers. People who want and can make a change.
It is my first visit in this beautiful country so much alike to Lithuania: by its size and by its historical background. We have a common history which dates back to medieval ages. Lithuanian and Moldovan knights Vytautas and Alexander the Good established trade and personal ties, signed cooperation treaties and even fought the common enemies. Back then Lithuania was building cultural and political bridges to Europe via Moldova.

Lecture by Prime Minsiter Gediminas Kirkilas at the NATO Defense College in Rome: 21 century challenges for the security of the transatlantic community
2008/10/02
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am extremely delighted to visit NATO Defense College today, which, with all due respect to all the other institutions, is undoubtedly the key academic institution of the Alliance. That has been demonstrated by its impressive history alone: the idea of such a college had originated with President Eisenhower and has been put into effect soon after the establishment of NATO itself.
