"Honorary Consuls can play a very important role in strengthening bilateral relations between the countries. Therefore we are keen on having our honorary consuls in the UK well-informed about the ongoing processes in Lithuania, we seek to align their activities with the priorities of the Lithuanian state," Lithuanian Ambassador Asta Skaisgiryte said.
The annual meeting of Lithuanian honorary consuls in the UK also included the official appointment of Alderman Sir Roger Gifford, past mayor of the City of London, as the new honorary consul in Lyme Regis with the consular jurisdiction over the County of Dorset.
Lithuanian Honorary Consul in West Midlands is Keith Reginald Stokes-Smith. Lithuanian Honorary Consul in Northern Ireland is William Harper Sinnerton.
