Lithuania is directing its efforts towards innovative economic sectors that yield substantial societal and national returns, including life sciences, the laser industry, and renewable energy technologies. This may well serve as a solid foundation for fostering sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships, including with the United Arab Emirates, emphasized the Government Chancellor.
Attending the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Giedrė Balčytytė noted the significance of such gatherings in convening global political, business, and scientific leaders to deliberate on pressing global issues.
The Government Chancellor underlined that Lithuania sees considerable potential in partnering with the UAE, especially given both countries' emphasis on digitalization and fostering smart economies.
Facilitating increased business interactions is paramount for governments, which makes the recent establishment of direct regular flights between Vilnius and Dubai particularly noteworthy. Giedrė Balčytytė emphasised that the opening of a Dubai Chamber of Commerce office in Vilnius would further bolster economic ties between the two nations.
Prosperity and wellbeing are intrinsically linked to security and stability, added the Government Chancellor, which is why it is particularly important to do our utmost to safeguard the global rules-based order.
