On 18 February in Vilnius, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius received the governor of Cirebon Region of Indonesia Sunjaya Purwadi Sastra. The governor is visiting Lithonia with the Indonesian delegation at the invitation of the Mayor of the city of Vilnius Remigijus Šimašius on 14-19 February. The purpose of the visit is to develop economic cooperation between Lithuania and Indonesia, especially in the renewable energy-related field – solar energy.

“During the visit to Indonesia last year, contacts were established that bore concrete results today. Indonesia takes interest in modern technology invented in Lithuania, solar panels and, generally, our experience in innovative industries. We bear witness to a situation, where Lithuania starts spreading innovation in the fourth largest country in the world. I hope that in the future the two countries will successfully widen the scope of cooperation, which is based on intelligent technologies and solutions,” said Lithuania’s Foreign Minister.

Bilateral relations between Lithuania and Indonesia increased significantly after the first official visit of the head of the Lithuanian diplomacy to Indonesia in August 2015.
