The Baltic country of Lithuania has announced a donation of 20,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses to Taiwan. On social media, Lithuania''s foreign minister said that "freedom-loving people should look out for each other." Taiwan lawmakers have expressed their gratitude to Lithuania. Chiu Chih-wei DPP lawmaker They aren’t like the U.S. or Japan, which have a greater supply of vaccines. Even so, with their limited resources, they’re doing all they can to support their old friend Taiwan at a time when Taiwan needs vaccines the most. This is really a moving gesture, and we hope that in the future, our two sides can set up representative offices in each other’s territories to cement this bilateral relationship. Ausra Adriuskaite Lithuanian Community in Taiwan chairwoman Because of this and because of some political issues, Taiwan can’t get vaccines. So Japan donated vaccines, and then U.S. also donated. I’m very happy with my country’s decision to donate vaccines to Taiwan. The donation has prompted an outpouring of thanks from everyday Taiwanese. Many have tried to return the favor by placing online orders for Lithuanian chocolate. Taiwanese food giant I-Mei Foods plans to express its appreciation, too. As a token of its thanks, it plans to send a 20-foot-long container crate filled with its signature snack puffs.
