A More Perfect Alliance

NATO: How can we achieve a more perfect alliance? Ambassador Zygimantas Pavilionis of Lithuania tries to answer this question and talks about how his experience influences his view of NATO as an organization protecting freedom and democracy, as part of a video series from the National Defense University’s Center for Transatlantic Security Studies.

The National Defense University's Center for Transatlantic Security Studies (CTSS), with support from NATO's Public Diplomacy Division, launched a video series at the NATO 2012 Summit in Chicago entitled "A More Perfect Alliance". In this series, 12 NATO Member country ambassadors to the United States and a US Congressman try to answer the difficult question: "How can we acheive a more perfect alliance?" Ambassadors responded in two different segments, one each in English and one each in their native languages.

In the following segment, Zygimantas Pavilionis, Lithuanian Ambassador to the US, gives his take on this topic, talking about his personal experience in the struggle for Lithuanian independence and explaining why "we have to fight for each other" (in English):
