I. Ruginienė does not withdraw: I would like to see Taiwan's proposals for greater investments

I. Ruginienė expresses unwavering support for Taiwan and calls for renewed discussions about investment proposals from Taiwan to Lithuania.

The Lithuanian Prime Minister, I. Ruginienė, has reaffirmed her stance on Taiwan, emphasizing the need for renewed discussions about potential investment opportunities from the Taiwanese side. She believes that previous mistakes were made in naming the Taiwanese representative office and advocates for a fresh dialogue to explore Taiwan's commitment to larger investments promised when the office was opened. During comments to journalists, she stressed the importance of seeing tangible investment proposals that can benefit Lithuania.

Furthermore, Ruginienė indicated that Lithuania remains open to various proposals from both Taiwan and China, underlining a pragmatic approach towards foreign investments. The Prime Minister highlighted the necessity to consider what would be most beneficial for Lithuania in this context. Her comments come amidst ongoing tensions in the region, particularly concerning Taiwan's geopolitical situation in relation to China, and underscore Lithuania's interest in strengthening ties with Taiwan despite external pressures.

In light of the limited nature of promised Taiwanese investments as pointed out by A. Romanovskis, there are questions regarding the format and future of these discussions. Ruginienė has not specified how negotiations might be renewed but reiterated the unchanged position of the Lithuanian government, emphasizing the importance of clarity in diplomatic relations, where assessing the benefits for Lithuania remains a priority.
