On 18 March in Miami, Florida, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, Kęstutis Budrys, met with representatives of the Miami business community.
During the meeting with representatives of Miami's tourism, port, aviation, Chamber of Commerce, innovation, and international trade organizations, Budrys presented opportunities for investment in Lithuania, a business-friendly regulatory environment, and the country's investments in defense, as well as a great interest in expanding economic cooperation with the U.S. The Minister emphasized Lithuania's economic resilience and significant progress the country made in the field of innovation.
