Message from the Ambassador

In the 20 years since Lithuania re-established its independence, the United States has worked closely with Lithuania to help rebuild democratic institutions and a market economy. Today our economic ties are stronger than ever before, and more and more American companies look for opportunities to partner with Lithuanian businesses. 

We continue widening and deepening our relations in all areas, including commercial and economic cooperation.  The U.S. Embassy is proud to support the American Chamber of Commerce in its initiatives, such as the first ever Department of Commerce certified Gateway Trade Mission to Lithuania held in September 2011. The goal of our cooperation is to highlight Lithuania as a gateway to the 500 million strong combined markets of Scandianvia, the European Union, and former CIS countries to the east, supported by stable political, financial, monetary and judicial systems that provide a sound platform for U.S. goods and services.

In today's global economy, trade and investment are both bi-directional and often complementary. By encouraging U.S. companies to export products and services to Lithuania and the region we expect to form new business relationships that will ultimately lead to investments by U.S. companies in Lithuania, and exports and investments by Lithuanian companies to the U.S. 

We are also working closely with Lithuanian partners, such as Invest Lithuania and Enterprise Lithuania to support the start and development of competitive businesses, help them create measurable added value and establish a network which would strengthen business ties between our two countries.
