Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) has named former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Visiting Fellow.

The fellowship is awarded to former heads of state, senior policymakers and other eminent experts "with the goal of promoting meaningful dialogue on the challenges world leaders face in crafting policy solutions to pressing global problems," according to the centre’s press release.

"While based at CISAC, Landsbergis will be deeply enmeshed in the daily intellectual life of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), with simultaneous affiliations with the Europe Center (TEC), and the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL)," the centre said.

​"I will be continuing to advocate for strength and solidarity on both sides of the Atlantic, so wish me luck," Landsbergis wrote on X.

Landsbergis, who served as Lithuania's foreign minister from 2020 until December 2024, will take up the position on September 16.
