Ahead of the July 2024 Washington Summit and in recognition of NATO's 75th Anniversary, the Wilson Center's Canada Institute and Global Europe Program will provide a look into Operation REASSURANCE, Canada's largest overseas mission. Canada will soon lead NATO’s most multinational brigade, located in Latvia, helping to deter Russian aggression on NATO’s eastern flank.
Amongst the topics to be discussed will be European security, Canada's leadership role in Latvia, efforts underway to more than double Canada’s military presence as it leads the buildup of the Battle Group to brigade level, and allies' commitment to NATO in the face of continued Russian aggression in Eastern Europe.
