I strongly condemn today’s Iranian attacks against #Bahrain and #Kuwait. #Lithuania stands in full solidarity with the countries affected and the people of 🇧🇭 and 🇰🇼.

This reckless escalation is unacceptable and constitutes a dangerous breach of the ceasefire and the Islamabad MoU. Striking a residential area shows blatant disregard for civilian safety and regional stability.

Iran must stop now and fully respect its commitments.

Lithuania’s laser industry marks 60 years of global impact 🇱🇹! From the first laser in Vilnius in 1966 to today’s world-leading ultrafast technologies, up to 95% of production is exported worldwide. A high-value sector built on science, innovation, and global reach.

Happy Joninės, Lithuania’s Midsummer celebration! 🌿✨
On the shortest night of the year, Lithuanians gather around bonfires, sing, dance, weave flower crowns and celebrate light, nature and togetherness. From Lithuania to the UAE, we wish everyone a bright and magical Midsummer!

[Lithuania MFA 🇱🇹 | #StandWithUkraine @LithuaniaMFA]

Tonight is one of the brightest and most magical nights of the year in Lithuania. Joninės, also known as Rasos, comes alive with bonfires, flower crowns, folk songs, dancing, and the search for the mythical fern blossom.

Enjoy tonight‘s magic of Midsummer! 🌿

Yesterday we welcomed students of the @AGDAUAE to our Embassy. Greatly value our growing and continued coop. w/ @AGDAUAE & cherish dialogue with the next generation of Emirati diplomats and decision-makers.
Perhaps even a future UAE Ambassador to 🇱🇹 might have been in the room!

Today, on the Day of Mourning and Hope, we honour the victims of brutal Soviet deportations and repression against Lithuania.

We remember those who suffered, those who never returned, and those whose resilience kept alive the hope of a free Lithuania. 🕯️🇱🇹

@Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is now approved in Lithuania – the second country in Europe after the Netherlands. Lithuania relied on EU type approval recognition, reflecting how EU regulatory cooperation can speed up new tech adoption while maintaining safety.

Another drone. Another air alert in the Baltics. This time - near Lithuania’s border with Belarus. #NATO Baltic Air Policing was activated.

These drone incidents don’t exist in isolation. The growing wave of drone violations across the Baltic states is a direct consequence of Russia’s war against #Ukraine and #Belarus’ complicity in it. Moscow and Minsk are responsible for breaches of our airspace and threats to civilian safety.

Meanwhile, Russia continues its information offensive - falsely accusing Baltic states of enabling drone strikes against Russia. Lithuania has never allowed its territory or airspace to be used for such attacks.

The NATO& EU response cannot stay symbolic:
-NATO’s relevant capabilities - Eastern Sentry and Baltic Sentry missions - must be reinforced
- EU Eastern Flank Watch initiative must be implemented& Special EU instrument for resilience of Eastern Flank urgently created
- NATO’s frontline needs air defense& stronger counter-drone capabilities
- EU critical infrastructure protection must be strengthened, as well as measures to counter Kremlin’s propaganda narratives

🇱🇹🤝🇸🇦 During his visit to Riyadh, Ambassador @RDavidonis met with Noor Nugali, Diplomatic Editor at @ArabNews.
A warm exchange on Lithuania - Saudi Arabia ties, Saudi Arabia’s transformation, and opportunities to bring Lithuania’s story closer to regional audiences.

[Lithuania in the UAE @LTinUAE]

Full 🇱🇹 support!

[EU in the UAE @EUintheUAE]

We strongly condemn today’s attack on the Barakah nuclear power plant in the UAE, which is a blatant violation of international law and a threat to security and stability in the region.

The protection of nuclear facilities everywhere is non negotiable.
