Linkevičius congratulates Poland on its Independence Day
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius congratulated Poland on the occasion of its Independence Day and noted that facing new challenges, the community of Poland and Lithuania was more important than ever.
“For Lithuania this celebration also has a special meaning – our people share a common culture, values and history dating back centuries – an uncompromising fight for Freedom and Independence. Our struggle has united us even during the darkest periods of our history,” Lithuania’s Foreign Minister said in the Polish language.
According to Linkevičius, facing today’s challenges in the region, Lithuania and Poland once again must strive together to defend their freedom and democracy, to strengthen the European and transatlantic family, and to prevent all attempts to divide and drag them into a confrontation.
“I would like to take this occasion to once again emphasize that the Polish people living in Lithuania for centuries have become an integral and a very important part of modern society’s life in Lithuania today. I cordially invite the Polish people living in Lithuania as well as Lithuanians living in Poland to bridge gaps between the countries and the cultures of our society,’ said Linkevičius.
