D.Tsogtbaatar, Mongolia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs on Thursday said that the reports of Lithuania imposing sanctions against Mongolia are false. The reports which spread on the internet on Monday alleged that Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite signed a bill to impose sanctions against Mongolia.

This information was also denied by the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, which emphasised that Lithuania and Mongolia are developing constructive bilateral relations and actively cooperating in various   multilateral spheres, as well as gradually expanding economic cooperation.

This is not the first time that such anti-Lithuanian malicious information has been spread by third-parties aimed at compromising Lithuania in the international space, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on 11 December 1991.
