China hopes Lithuania will translate its wish to improve bilateral relations into concrete actions, correct its mistakes as soon as possible, return to the right track of earnestly adhering to the one-China principle, in order to create necessary conditions for the normalization of China-Lithuania relations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday, in response to a question whether China considers fully restoring diplomatic ties with Lithuania and what conditions need to be met for the restoration of relations after Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė said on Tuesday that allowing Taiwan regional authorities to establish a so-called "Taiwan representative office" in its capital Vilnius was a strategic mistake.

Lin made the remarks at a regular press conference on Friday. He said China has repeatedly expounded its position on China-Lithuania relations on multiple occasions. The door to communication between China and Lithuania remains open, the spokesperson said.
