“Currently, both countries are reviewing and updating the Action Plan for the strategic partnership between Lithuania and France. We thus seek to further deepen cooperation with France in various fields,” said Linkevičius.
Lithuania’s Foreign Minister thanked France for the country’s contribution to the Baltic Air Policing mission and the strengthening of security in the region.
“With my French counterpart we have discussed the upcoming NATO Summit in Warsaw, NATO’s adapting to a changed security environment and the greater allied presence in our region,” said Lithuania’s Foreign Minister.
The French Foreign Minister briefed Linkevičius about his next day’s visit to Moscow and the ongoing talks on Ukraine in the Normandy Four format. Lithuania’s Foreign Minister noted that due to the lack of sustainable security in Donbas it was very difficult to expect progress in the implementation of the Minsk accords.
The Foreign Ministers also discussed the French Prime Minister’s possible visit to Lithuania this year.
