On 18 September, the Minister Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius congratulated the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Chile Herald Muñoz on the occasion of Chile’s Day of Independence and welcomed the intensifying bilateral ties.
The head of Lithuania’s diplomacy noted that our bilateral cooperation had been strengthened by the President Dalia Grybauskaitė’s visit to Chile in February 2015. It has also opened up new possibilities for political and economic ties between Lithuania and Chile.
