The Speaker of the Seimas also noted that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the recognition of restored independence of Lithuania and resumption of diplomatic relations.

‘We have maintained excellent relations between our parliaments, institutions, and local authorities as well as cultural and people-to-people contacts over these three decades.

I am confident that the new Bundestag that has recently secured trust by the German society will continue to support the meaningful links based on our shared values’, said the Speaker of the Seimas.
