From 24 - 26 June 2008, Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands paid a State visit to the Republic of Lithuania on invitation of His Excellency President Adamkus. The visit was a great succes from both, the Dutch and the Lithuanian point of view.

The reaction of President Adamkus upon departure of HM the Queen:

“This prominent personality full of human warmth and chivalry was earnestly interested in Lithuania’s history and was eager to learn as much as possible about its culture and scientific and economic achievements and those by young people.  This first visit by the Queen of the Netherlands leaves us with a warm memory in our history.”
