The visit will focus on the Lithuanian and Dutch relations in business, trade and culture, cooperation in NATO and in the European Union. The Lithuanian president and the King of the Netherlands will open a business forum of both countries and will meet with Dutch troops deployed with the multinational NATO battalion.

Lithuania, too, actively contributes to the Dutch initiative to improve military mobility in the EU for ensuring non-restricted movement of allied military equipment. The Netherlands is one of the most important economic partners of Lithuania and the second largest investor, said the President’s Office.

As Lithuania marks 100 years of its restored independence this year, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway is also expected to visit Lithuania. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel were in Vilnius on Feb. 16 for festive centennial events.
