Belfast Council hosts Lithuania business breakfast
Plans for a trade mission to Lithuania are now in the pipeline – thanks to a business event hosted by Belfast City Council.
Local firms who attend the ‘Do Business with Lithuania’ breakfast at the Belfast City Hall expressed an interest in visiting contacts established through the venture.
The Ambassador of Lithuania, Mr Vygaudas Usackas, said his country would welcome a trade mission from Northern Ireland with open arms.
“Our goal as a result of this successful event is to further promote the trade interest between our countries. We very much hope that the strong foundations already established will now be built on.”
The Ambassadors was accompanied to Belfast by the Deputy Minister of Economy for Lithuania, Mr Vytautas Nauduzas, who answered a wide range of questions from Belfast business people keen to learn more about potential opportunities.
Councillor Nelson McCausland, Chairman of Belfast City Council’s Development Committee, paid tribute to the continued monument in investigating new trade possibilities for local firms.
“Events like this one help the local business community broaden its horizons and increase the scope for expansion. We are delighted to be able to facilitate this progress,” he added.
‘Do Business with Lithuania’ was organised as part of Belfast City Council’s European Union 50th Anniversary celebrations.
