Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys said on Tuesday, after meeting his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan, that diplomatic and political relations between the two countries are stronger than ever before.
The foreign ministers signed a strategic partnership agreement between Armenia and Lithuania.
FM Budrys said the agreement will further expand cooperation in multiple areas.
Speaking about the EU visa liberalization process for Armenian citizens, the Lithuanian FM said that the move offers great opportunities for countries.
“We hope that we will help Armenia speed up this process, so that Armenia can move into a visa liberalization stage, and then, with very few restrictions, your citizens will be able to travel throughout the entire EU,” the Lithuanian FM said at a joint press conference with FM Mirzoyan in Yerevan.
Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys said Lithuania is ready to share its best experience in several future-oriented fields such as information technology, artificial intelligence, and others.
FM Budrys also stated that Lithuania fully supports the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
“We hope that it will open the door to new economic opportunities for everyone. By opening borders and infrastructure, people-to-people ties will become more active, and the level of security will increase, which you all deserve here,” FM Budrys said.
