On Monday, President Gitanas Nausėda extended congratulations to King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands on his birthday and the National Day of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The President highlighted that Lithuania and the Netherlands are like-minded countries, successfully cooperating within NATO, the European Union, and other multilateral frameworks.

The Netherlands also makes a significant contribution to strengthening Lithuania's air defense, including through the deployment of Patriot systems during exercises. We value the successful cooperation between our countries in security and defense and firmly believe that we will continue our joint efforts to enhance the security of our nations and our people," the message of congratulations reads.
The President underlined Lithuania's determination to continue fostering comprehensive dialogue between the two countries by developing closer political, economic, and cultural ties.
