Lithuania-Germany Forum Night Owl Session

On 17 December 2023, on the occasion of the Lithuanian-German Forum, we hosted the evening opening event Night Owl Session, a dinner and discussion.

With members of the Lithuanian and German parliaments, diplomats and think tank experts we discussed Germany’s Zeitenwende and asked whether the strategic shift in German foreign and defence policy has already happened.

The keynote was given by Benjamin Tallis, senior fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP), joined in the discussion by Margarita Šešelgytė, Director of the Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science, and John Lough of Chatham House.
