Our coordinator of Japanese Affairs Ene Selart participated at international conference “A century of connections: historical ties between the Baltic and East Asia regions” organized by Vytautas Magnus University.

In 2021 and 2022 Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are celebrating the anniversaries of diplomatic relations with several East Asian countries. The 100th anniversary is associated with the 1921 de jure recognition of Estonia and Latvia by Japan, and in 1922 with Lithuania. It was followed by the Republic of China in 1923. Another anniversary is 30 years since the re-establishment of relations with the Baltic countries in 1991. The Vytautas Magnus University organized a commemorative international conference “A century of connections: historical ties between the Baltic and East Asia regions” with 20 presenters from 8 countries. Our Japanese coordinator Ene Selart participated at the conference with a presentation “Soldiers and Doctors on the Battlefield: Different Perspectives of the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905) based on the War Letters”.
