The German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce (AHK Baltic States) has published a comprehensive article drawing attention to the critical role of strategic mobility and transport infrastructure in ensuring security and resilience across the Baltic region. The piece focuses on Rail Baltica, the new European-standard high-speed railway connecting Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania with Poland and the rest of the EU and highlights how its significance has evolved far beyond economic integration.
The publication stresses that Rail Baltica is increasingly regarded as a strategically important pillar of Europe’s defence architecture. In light of the current geopolitical environment, the project is recognized as essential for rapid and efficient movement of troops, equipment, and heavy military assets. Existing railway systems still rely on incompatible gauges, causing delays and logistical challenges that Rail Baltica is designed to remove thereby improving NATO’s ability to reinforce the region when needed.
