The meeting was held at the Presidential Palace in Vilnius. Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya thanked President Nauseda and the Lithuanian government for supporting relocated Belarusians, independent media, organisations, and businesses that have moved to Lithuania and continue to work here. The Belarusian politician also made note of Lithuania’s assistance in providing security to activists and journalists who fled from Belarus.

In addition, they discussed joint events dedicated to the year of Francysk Skaryna – 2022 marks 500 years since the first printing in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
