Lithuania has no intention of meeting China’s conditions related to the Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius, President Gitanas Nausėda’s chief foreign policy adviser said Tuesday, signalling continued deadlock in efforts to restore diplomatic representation.
Asta Skaisgirytė told the radio Žinių Radijas that there has been no “significant progress” in talks with Beijing.
“There has been no significant progress, because the Chinese side is making a certain demand regarding the Taiwanese office, and I do not think this is a demand that can be easily met,” she said. “It seems that as long as this demand remains in place, such relations will not be viewed from the Chinese side in the same way as elsewhere.”
