Lithuania is planned to expand its net of embassies and to open an
embassy in Armenia in fall. On Wednesday, the Cabinet should pass
the decision on establishment of the embassy in Armenia as of Oct.1.
Currently Lithuanian embassy in Russia is representing Lithuania
to Armenia and one diplomat is residing in Jerevan. Armenia is
represented to Lithuania by Armenia’s embassy in Warsaw. According to
the government, Armenia’s representatives have unofficially informed
about intentions to open an embassy in Lithuania. Since 2004, Lithuania
has been identifying the relationship with South Caucasus countries
as a foreign policy priority — Lithuania already has a diplomatic
representation in Georgia; in January, the country established its
embassy in Azerbaijan as well. Vilnius newsroom, +370 5 2058509,
