During the conversation with the President, the Ambassador noted that bilateral relations with South Africa, based on historical people-to-people ties, were important for Lithuania. There are many opportunities for strengthening cooperation in various areas, especially in the sphere of bilateral economic relations. The Ambassador said that the visa-free regime for Lithuanian citizens would undoubtedly contribute to the mutually beneficial business and tourism development, and would help to strengthen people-to-people links.
Lithuania and South Africa established their diplomatic relations on 20 November 1991. Lithuania opened its Embassy in South Africa in 2015.
