President of the Republic of Lithuania, President Gitanas Nausėda's visit to Gifu University:

On October 24, 2019, Gifu University had the honor of welcoming the President of the Republic of Lithuania, President Gitanas Nausėda at Gifu University. President Nausėda was visiting Japan to attend the enthronement ceremony held on October 22. He travelled to Gifu Prefecture because the Republic of Lithuania and Gifu Prefecture have been developing strong ties over the years.

President Nausėda gave a memorial speech entitled: "Lithuania and Japan: The way forward" at the university auditorium packed with approximately 400 people. He spoke about the history of exchange, culture, economy and future relationship between Lithuania and Japan. He concluded his speech with the following remarks: "We would like to continue to deepen our friendship, and I strongly hope that our solid partnership will never cease to grow for many years to come."

Gifu University has been actively promoting exchanges with Lithuania through various programs and projects, and the President's speech at Gifu University is expected to greatly contribute to the university's education, research activities as well as international exchanges and reinforcement of two nations' friendly ties.

After his speech, in commemoration of his visit and in expectation of thriving exchanges between Lithuania and Japan, an Honorary Doctorate was conferred on President Nausėda by Gifu University.

Gifu University continues to facilitate university-level partnerships with Kaunas University of Technology and Vytautas Magnus University (both in Lithuania), and further strengthen our bonds with Lithuania in collaboration with Gifu Prefecture.
