The Ambassador thanked Ehsassi for his long-standing and purposeful efforts in strengthening parliamentary relations between Lithuania and Canada and for his significant contribution to implementing initiatives of importance to Lithuania. “You have personally contributed to strengthening the partnership between Lithuania and Canada. We also greatly appreciate your consistent support for Ukraine in its struggle against brutal Russian aggression,” said Meilūnas.
