    Lithuanian Lawmakers Demand Clarity on Taiwan Office Name Change

    Opposition in the Lithuanian Seimas demanded an extraordinary meeting on China and Taiwan due to concerns over the potential name change of Taiwan's representative office. Conservative MP Zigmantas Pavilionis criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) for not informing the parliament about the negotiations with Taiwan. Chairman of the KID Remigijus Motuzas agreed to hold a separate meeting on this issue. Meanwhile, MFA head Kastytis Budrys refused to comment on the situation, stating that the information presented was inaccurate. Lithuanian lawmakers emphasized that Lithuania cannot unilaterally change the name of Taiwan's representative office, and the decision depends on Taiwan. Speaker of the Seimas Juozas Olekas urged not to interfere with the MFA's efforts to improve relations with China. Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius considered the name change question premature. President Gitanas Nauseda stated that negotiations with Taiwan about changing the name of its representative office had been coordinated with him, and Lithuania is ready to communicate with both Taiwan and China.
