Mr. Usackas’ visit is aimed at "developing cooperation between the neighboring countries, in particular between areas near the border, in the spheres of culture, tourism, business ties and contacts between local people," said the Lithuanian ministry’s press office.
During the visit, Mr. Usackas is scheduled to discuss with the Belarusian foreign minister and the country’s local government officials efforts to preserve sites and buildings of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania's historical heritage, according to the report.
Talks with Mr. Martynaw will focus on bilateral political and economic cooperation, as well as prospects for Belarus’ dialogue with the European Union.
