President of the Republic of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaitė received a high-ranking government official from China, He Guoqiang.

In the meeting, they discussed Lithuanian-Chinese relations, prospects for bilateral economic cooperation, the potential of promoting mutual investment, and the upcoming visit by President Dalia Grybauskaitė to China to visit the International EXPO 2010 in Shanghai this coming autumn.

„China, as one of the world's largest economies, is a global investor and partner for other leading economies of the world, including the USA and the European Union. Both Lithuania and China would benefit from stronger economic cooperation, higher business investment in research and high technologies, also in nuclear and renewable energy, and from a more developed transport and logistics infrastructure," President Dalia Grybauskaitė said at the meeting.

According to the President, freight transportation from China by transit through Lithuania, using the deep-sea port of Klaipėda, is one of the areas that have the greatest potential for bilateral cooperation. The parties of the meeting also discussed the possibility to establish science and high technology centers in Lithuania and to invest in the production of renewable sources of energy - solar batteries and wind power plants.
