NATO Supreme Allied Commander of Europe General Philip M. Breedlove visited the Lithuanian Air Force Base in Siauliai, Tuesday.

Moreover, Breedlove made clear that "NATO is changing" and adapting to "strategic challenges from the east and the south". During his visit, Gen. Breedlove toured the base facilities and met with Lithuanian Minister of National Defence Juozas Olekas, Chief of Defence Major General Jonas Vytautas Zukas, as well as members of the Lithuanian Air Force and Italian and Norwegian air personnel who are currently working on the NATO Baltic Air policing mission.
