原文：

The Lithuanian government has called on Warsaw to join the project to build a military training ground in Kapčiamiestis, in the Suwałki Gap.

Joint use of the future training ground with Poland will strengthen cooperation between the armies of both countries and the defense of the strategic Suwałki Gap, which is key to the security of NATO’s eastern flank.

According to the plan, the training ground, which is to be created by 2030, will cover an area of 14,600 hectares and will be designed for brigade-level exercises involving 3,500-4,000 military personnel, including the Lithuanian National Division and NATO allied forces.

"We welcome Poland’s willingness to use this training ground. This will enable us to strengthen not only the mutual cooperation of our armed forces, but also the defense of the Suwałki Gap," the Lithuanian president emphasized. "This would be a unique solution in the context of NATO-a joint training ground designed to protect the eastern flank of the alliance."

The Lithuanian president also proposed the creation of a joint free trade zone in Suwałki and Lazdijai.

立陶宛政府呼籲華沙加入在蘇瓦烏基走廊卡普恰米耶斯蒂斯興建軍事訓練場的計畫。

與波蘭共同使用這座訓練場，將強化兩國軍隊之間的合作，以及對戰略要地蘇瓦烏基走廊的防衛能力。該走廊是北約東翼安全的關鍵節點。

依照規劃，這座預計於2030年前建成的訓練場，面積將達1萬4600公頃，設計用於旅級規模的演訓，可容納約3500至4000名軍事人員，包括立陶宛軍隊與北約盟軍部隊。

立陶宛總統強調：「我們歡迎波蘭表達使用該訓練場的意願。這不僅將能強化雙方武裝部隊的相互合作，也有助於加強對蘇瓦烏基走廊的防禦。在北約的框架下，這將是一項獨特的解決方案，一座專為保護聯盟東翼而設計的聯合訓練場。」

立陶宛總統還提議，在蘇瓦烏基與拉茲迪亞建立一個聯合自由貿易區。
