[Presenter] Lithuania regards relations with Armenia as one of the
priorities of its foreign policy and is trying to assume the role of
a link between the South Caucasus and the European Union, Lithuanian
President Valdas Adamkus said during a meeting with Armenian Prime
Minister Andranik Markaryan. During the meeting at the Lithuanian
president's residency, Valdas Adamkus and Andranik Markaryan noted
that bilateral political and economic relations have been established
between the two countries. Despite these relations, economic relations
do not meet the current potential. The Vilnius business forum would
be a new impetus to the development of Armenian-Lithuanian trade and
economic relations.
