Taiwan refuses to change the name of its representative office in Lithuania.
In September, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry allegedly contacted the Taiwanese embassy in Vilnius with a request to change its name so that the Baltic republic could normalize relations with China.
"The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reported that it does not intend to change the name of its representative office in Lithuania, and media reports on this issue harm relations between Vilnius and Taipei," the report states.
In turn, Taiwan's Vice Foreign Minister Chen Mingjie said he would not comment on "rumors, especially speculations based on unreliable news, as they harm relations between Lithuania and Taiwan."
