During an interview with “Radio News” on Tuesday, D. Matulionis addressed Lithuania’s engagement with Taiwan, noting that while certain priorities within the Government program (ELTA) may have shifted, the ultimate activation of economic cooperation hinges on Taiwan’s own initiative. He stated that past efforts have not yielded substantial practical economic benefits, suggesting a desire for increased tangible outcomes in the partnership.
Matulionis confirmed that despite the new Government program no longer containing a dedicated provision for economic and cultural ties with Taiwan, Lithuania’s policy stance on the matter remains consistent. He emphasized that nothing regarding the relationship with Taiwan is changing. Furthermore, he reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively coordinating a comprehensive action plan specifically designed to bolster economic cooperation.
The official reiterated that Lithuania maintains a strong interest in advancing pragmatic economic cooperation. This interest spans various sectors, specifically citing potential avenues for investment as a key area of focus. The discussion underscored a commitment to strengthening ties through concrete, mutually beneficial trade and investment mechanisms, solidifying the depth of the planned cooperation between the two entities.
