 Hello, everyone. I am very happy to be here with you today. I'd like to first thank Prime Minister Kalyans. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. As well, we continue to strengthen the relationship between Canada and Latvia. Prime Minister Sanchez, Pedro, it's good to see you. I know how important the contribution of Spain is to the success of the mission here. NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg, thank you, Jens, for being with us today. It's extremely important. NATO truly is multinational. It was absolutely amazing to see the culminating military exercise of our troops from different nations, including those of Canada, Latvia, and Spain, training together. It was great to be here, and I'm also very happy to be joined today by Minister Anand, our Minister of National Defence, and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Er. We had a very productive day today. On top of my different bilateral meetings with Christianes, Prime Minister Kerens, Prime Minister Sanchez, and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg, I also met with President Levits of Latvia to discuss Ukraine and a broad range of topics. In addition, this morning, Christianes was able to organize that we were joined virtually by the Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaya Kalas, and the Prime Minister of Lithuania, Ingrid Simonit. We agreed to deepen the partnership between Canada and the Baltic countries, especially at this time of uncertainty. Here in Asia, I also had the chance to meet with several members of the Canadian Armed Forces and other Lithuanian countries. I personally thanked them for their remarkable work and professionalism. Last month, Canada announced the deployment of up to 460 members of the Canadian Armed Forces to NATO through Operation Reassurance. This announcement includes more troops here in Latvia, as well as the deployment of an additional frigate and maritime patrol aircraft. A total of 540 CAF personnel are now deployed here in Latvia, and approximately 130 more will join in the coming weeks. Well, today, I can further announce an early, multi-year renewal of Operation Reassurance to support NATO in Central and Eastern Europe. This mission was set to expire next year, and in light of the situation in Europe, we decided to renew it ahead of schedule. Operation Reassurance is the CAF's support to NATO's assurance and deterrence measures. The troops here are not only defending Latvia or Eastern Europe, they're defending all NATO allies, including Canada. They're defending our freedom and our security. That's why this work is so important, especially in the face of continued Russian aggression. Today, I can announce that Canada will renew Operation Reassurance for several years in order to support NATO in particular on the Eastern side. We will continue to defend democracy in Europe and around the world. Tomorrow, I will be in Berlin, where I will meet Chancellor Schultz, and thank you again for welcoming us today. Today, in particular, during International Women's Day, I want to thank all the brave women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces for their outstanding work and all the women who serve in armed forces around the world. Canada will continue to be an ally and partner to help defend our shared values, and we will continue to be there for Ukraine.
