The meeting noted the importance of cooperation not only between EU Member States but also between regions. Lithuania and Germany have particularly important strategic relations in intensive trade, politics, culture and science. Germany is the third largest trading partner of Lithuania and one of the biggest investors in the country. The meeting also emphasised close and consistent ties between Lithuania and the Land of Bavaria and the need to further deepen and broaden them.
The Speaker took the opportunity to point out strongly developed sectors of IT and life sciences in Lithuania and to invite investors from the Land of Bavaria to the international conference of Life Sciences Baltics to be held in Lithuania in September 2016.
