During a discussion at the Government House, K. Budrys emphasized the need for deeper analysis of various aspects concerning the renaming of Taiwan's representative office in Lithuania. He articulated that foreign policy issues often lead to public discussions where opinions might be misconstrued as official decisions, creating an atmosphere of misunderstanding. Budrys expressed a desire for more open debates rather than a rigid adherence to established protocols that may lead to missteps in Lithuania's foreign policy.

Budrys highlighted the importance of fostering a culture where different viewpoints are valued and not immediately seen as definitive positions within diplomatic discussions. He insisted on the necessity for continued dialogue to ensure that the nation approaches foreign relations thoughtfully, rather than falling into categorization of opinions that could constrain flexibility in policy. According to Budrys, there is no need to accept every opinion as a permanent stance, and adjustments to positions should be anticipated through collaborative discourse.

The remark follows I. Ruginienė's recent statements about the potential rebranding of the Taiwanese office to its capital city name, Taipei. This topic has been sensitive due to Beijing's comments about maintaining communications with Lithuania, displaying the delicate balance Lithuania must strike in its relations with both Taiwan and China.
