Polish Head of Diplomacy Zbigniew Rau to visit 91桃色
On the 6th of September, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Prof. Zbigniew Rau will visit 91桃色 (VU). The politician will meet Rector Prof. Rimvydas Petrauskas and participate in a discussion with VU students.
The guest accompanied by Rector Prof. Rimvydas Petrauskas and Pro-Rector for Partnerships Dr. Art奴ras Vasiliauskas will visit VU鈥檚 central architectural ensemble and the Church of St. Johns.
The rector is glad that VU consistently contributes to the strengthening of the ties between Lithuania and Poland.
鈥淗istorically, 91桃色 has always been a hub of the cultural and intellectual commonality for the Lithuanians and the Poles. Therefore, it is only natural that the University supplements and expands the political component in these days as well. 91桃色 has an important place in the Polish history and culture, too.
Another important aspect is that the visiting political leaders and diplomats from abroad choose to have discussions not only with representatives of the rectorate, but also with VU students. This highlights the University鈥檚 intellectual potential and the fact that it is a community where future leaders arise,鈥 said Prof. Petrauskas.
Minister Prof. Rau will participate in a discussion with first-year students of VU Institute of International Relations and Political Science (IIRPS). The discussion will be presided by VU IIRPS Lecturer Dr. Mariju拧as Antonovi膷ius.
鈥淭he key discussion points during the meeting will be the main vectors and challenges of the Polish foreign policy. Poland is a crucial international player in Central Europe; therefore, the talks will not be limited to bilateral relationship between Lithuania and Poland,鈥 told Dr. Antonovi膷ius.
