Description
Lithuania's Vice Minister of Economy and Innovation Jovita Neliupsiene says on a vist to Taiwan that her country can weather economic pressure from China.
Beijing downgraded diplomatic relations with Lithuania last year and blocked its imports after Vilnius allowed Taiwan to open a de facto embassy there. Lithuania's exports to China have since plummented to near zero but trade between Taiwan and Lithuania has risen 26 percent, according to Neliupsiene. "We were successful in diversifying our energy, we will be successful in diversifying our trade," says Neliupsiene. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
