'In today's geopolitical and economic environment, quick and strategically sound decisions are required. Germany is a key partner for us in terms of exports, investment, technology and innovation. We are seeking to strengthen economic ties and attract more direct German capital investment to Lithuania,' said Minister L. Savickas.
He added that Germany's increased military presence in Lithuania opens up opportunities for closer cooperation in areas ranging from the defence industry and innovation to investments in traditional industrial companies. This week, the Seimas will adopt amendments to laws proposed by the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation, creating an 'Investment Highway' — offering some of the best conditions for investors in Europe.
