Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite will pay on Tuesday her first official visit to Norway to discuss bilateral issues, including economic, energy and security cooperation.
President Grybauskaite is scheduled to hold meetings in Oslo with King Harald V and Queen Sonja, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Chairman of the Norwegian Parliament Per-Kristian Foss.
"This year we mark 20 years of establishment of diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Norway. The support of Norway and its people have been very important for us during our struggle for independence. It is pleasant that the established 20 years ago kind and firm relations between our countries are growing stronger," the presidential press service quoted Grybauskaite as saying before the visit.
The Lithuanian president will also deliver a lecture on energy geopolitics at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
Grybauskaite serves as the president of Lithuania since July 12, 2009 and she is the first female president in the history of the country.
