Speaking to reporters in Brussels on Thursday, President Nausėda outlined the conditions under which the success of Mr. Budrys’s tenure will be assessed over the coming months. The President indicated that key benchmarks for evaluation include the normalization of diplomatic relations with China and the successful execution of ambitious goals previously agreed upon with Taiwan.
Nausėda emphasized that observable results on these specific international issues will determine the trajectory of Mr. Budrys’s role. He stated that if the outcomes prove satisfactory, the current arrangement will continue, but if performance falls short of expectations, the administration would reassess its position regarding his continued service.
Despite the stated conditions, Nausėda maintained that his personal views have not conflicted with those of Mr. Budrys on any major policy points, noting that the directives being addressed are matters of national necessity. He stressed that all ministerial decisions must remain guided primarily by the national interest.
In summarizing his remarks, the President underscored that while he views Mr. Budrys as a minister fulfilling his assigned duties adequately, the focus remains firmly on measurable achievements. The successful management of Lithuania’s complex foreign relations, particularly with major global partners like China and Taiwan, will therefore serve as the definitive measure of the efficacy of his work.
