After the government’s approval, the ambassador should be designated by President Dalia Grybauskaitė. Marčiulionytė should take the new post as of September 21, replacing Lina Antanavičienė who has recently been appointed the economic adviser to the Lithuanian president.
Up until now, Marčiulionytė has headed the Foreign Ministry’s Latin America, Africa, Asia and Pacific Department.
In 2009, Marčiulionytė ran for UNESCO director general.

But in February, Beijing issued a statement saying that China is ready to develop friendly relations with Lithuania.
