Political and Economic Section

 

The Political Section observes and analyses political developments of relevance to U.S. interests occurring both within Lithuania and between Lithuania and other countries. The Political Section staff maintains official contact with Lithuanian government departments, political parties, and interested non-governmental organizations. These contacts are used to advocate policy consistent with U.S. interests, assess the degree of support for U.S. policies, and maximize cooperation with the Lithuanian government in areas of mutual concern. The Political Section's analytical reporting of Lithuanian issues to the Department of State, along with its process of advocating U.S. positions to the Lithuanian government are integral elements in the formation and implementation of American foreign policy.
The Economic Section monitors economic developments within Lithuania and manages economic relations between the U.S. and Lithuania. The staff of the Economic Section maintains official contact with Lithuanian government in order to work on bilateral and international economic policy issues. The Section also reports on developments within the Lithuanian economy, facilitates U.S. exports to, and investment in Lithuania, and provides advocacy on behalf of U.S. businesses operating in Lithuania.
The U.S. Commercial Service had its regional office in Riga, Latvia from May, 2001 until September 30, 2004. Currently, the nearest U.S. Commercial Service partnership office for Lithuania is in Warsaw, Poland. There is one Commercial Specialist located in the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius who is ready to serve U.S. business needs.
