A. Veryga addressed “Radio News” on Wednesday, discussing the expected restoration of diplomatic ties with China. According to Veryga, the Foreign Minister had assured that efforts would be made to implement provisions outlined in both the government program and the coalition agreement.
The stated goal of these efforts is to elevate the level of diplomatic relations with China to match those enjoyed by other member states within the European Union. When questioned about the potential implications if these diplomatic relations are not normalized before the New Year, Veryga asserted that the Prime Minister alone cannot definitively determine the cause of the delay. He suggested that it remains unclear whether the reasons for the lapse in ties are based on objective circumstances or if the minister’s inaction was deliberate.
The leader of the “People’s” party broadened the scope of responsibility, noting that foreign policy falls under a purview larger than just K. Budrys. Nevertheless, Veryga stressed the necessity of achieving tangible results concerning China.
His comments underscore a desire for clear action regarding the country’s diplomatic standing. The discussion highlights a divergence of views regarding the timeline and mechanism by which the government intends to repair its bilateral relations with Beijing, placing emphasis on the minister’s commitment to observable progress.
