The Government chief noted that the fine bilateral relations have been nurtured by generations of the two countries’s leaders and people.

For her part, Ms. Lina Antanavicinene said with the traditional friendship, goodwill and joint efforts, the two countries’ ties would continue to flourish in the future.

She asserted that Lithuania always supports Việt Nam to expand relations with the European Union.
