Lithuania’s bilateral trade relations with China are stabilising two years after Beijing imposed trade restrictions on Lithuania, Economy and Innovation Minister Aušrinė Armonaitė has said, warning, however, that this stability is fragile.
“Right now, the situation is stabilising, but as always, when you do business with communist or other regimes, you cannot be sure of your ownership or the stability of that partnership,” Armonaitė told the Žinių Radijas radio on Thursday.
“We don’t have the final figures for this year’s exports yet. We had it for January-September, and we see recovery in exports,” the minister added.
She also pointed out that Lithuania’s exports to China were not very high even before the deterioration of relations with Beijing.
Earlier, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that Lithuanian and Chinese officials were in talks on normalising diplomatic relations.
