Svernis: There will be no previous relationship with China.

Speaker Seimas Saulius Skvernis says that Lithuania will no longer have previous relations with China, and that the improvement of its ties with Beijing is also hampered by the fact that that country supports Russia, which launched a war in Ukraine.

The Speaker of the Seimas, Saulius Skvernelis, says that Lithuania will not restore its former bilateral relations with China. However, the politician believes that it is possible to normalize them. However, the head of the parliament emphasized that Beijing itself is not making such efforts. “We will not restore the former relations, but to have the same relations as all the other remaining European Union (EU) states – that is possible to do.
