New Year greetings from President Gitanas NausÄ—da and First Lady Diana NausÄ—dienÄ—

Dear Fellow People of Lithuania,

Together, we stand at the threshold of a new year.

We leave twelve months of dedicated work behind us. Having agreed on a record defense budget to strengthen the security of our country, we must now continue addressing other challenges of our time-further reducing social and regional disparities across Lithuania.

As time goes by, we are reminded again and again that together we are stronger. Stronger through effective solutions that are essential in health care, education, social protection, and the economy. As long as we agree on what truly matters and work with constructive proposals for the well-being of every citizen of Lithuania, nothing can stop us from moving forward.

Throughout the year, we have worked to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more confident Lithuania. Rather than competing over who loves Lithuania more, let us share valuable ideas and truly listen to one another. Let us show that we are a Lithuania that cares for each and every one of its people. Let us shape a future elevated by meaningful results and achievements. Let us raise the level of prosperity in our country for everyone.

Dear All,

Let us look closely at the goals and actions of those who speak. Let our hearts speak as one for the prosperity and success of our Homeland.

With new hopes, unity, and creative energy, let us rise upward-and only upward!

Happy New Year!
