Justas Pankauskas, investment adviser to the Lithuanian prime minister, told BNS that the agency announced its intentions to come to Vilnius back in 2013, finalized all necessary procedures and started operations in January.
“The agency now employs one Chinese national and four Lithuanians working with translations and information monitoring,” said Pankauskas.
