"Currently, the geopolitical situation in the world is changing from day to day. Therefore, I believe that every state should interact diplomatically with other countries. At present, the Republic of Lithuania cooperates and strengthens ties with a large number of countries around the world. Lithuanian embassies and consular offices have been opened in many countries. This is a great achievement," the Ambassador said.
