Laimonas Talat-Kelpša, Political Director at Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Małgorzata Bonikowska, President, Centre for International Relations, Poland, discussed the evolving bilateral relations between the European Union and China. They were talking to Gautam Chikermane, Vice President, Observer Research Foundation, India, at the Firstpost Ideas Pod during the Raisina Dialogue 2025. Laimonas Talat-Kelpša said Lithuania's relationship with China is not experiencing its best moments. He further said Europe’s "incoherent politics" complicate its strategic approach on China. He said that Lithuania opened its trade office in Taiwan with an aim to expand its commercial relations with the region. "Lithuania’s intention was not to make relationship with any country worse than we used to have. What Lithuania did in 2021, it just followed the track already beaten by so many nations, to open trade office in Taiwan and ask the Taiwanese people to also have their presence in Lithuania with the purpose of expanding commercial and trade relations. So, this is not a unique case," he said. The panelists also discussed EU’s ability to develop a unified and strategic approach towards Beijing. Watch the full conversation on Firstpost.
