I trust this letter finds you well and in good spirits. I also would like to seize this opportunity and appreciate you for your important role and dedication further bolstering already excellent cooperation between our navies, which is of the utmost importance to safeguarding peace and security in maritime domain.
As Lithuanian Navy will be marking the 90th anniversary of its establishment next year, I would like to invite you and accompanying staff members to attend commemorative events scheduled for July 25-26, 2025. Additionally, I kindly ask you to consider possibility of contributing one of your ships to the wreath laying and pass in review ceremony at sea scheduled for July 26, as well as your navy band joining the combined naval bands performance in Klaipeda. I would like to highlight that our anniversary events will be held in conjunction with the annual Sea Festival, the event which attracts around 1 million guests with the aim to promote the importance of seafaring traditions and maritime enterprise to our nation.
I sincerely hope that your agenda will allow you to join and I am convinced your participation will give an outstanding opportunity to discuss naval cooperation matters with other Chiefs of the Allied Navies. My team is currently working on a programme of events for the anniversary, which will be shared with you in due course. Should you have any further questions regarding the upcoming anniversary, I kindly ask your staff to liaise directly with CDR Egidijus Krasauskas (

Meanwhile, I truly look much forward to your attendance and send you and the Estonian Navy my heartfelt wishes of success in all your endeavours.
