On Friday 20 October, the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, and First Lady, Diana Nausėdienė visited Australia on an official visit.

During their time in Canberra, they met with the Australian Prime Minister and Governor General. On the Friday, the President and First Lady were welcomed to Canberra at an Embassy event where they were greeted by our Community President Elena and Committee member Sophie, in traditional Lithuanian costume.

It was a privilege and an honour to welcome them to Canberra.

14 June is Baltic Deportation Day.

On Saturday 10 June 2023, the Canberra Lithuanian Community commemorated this day with our Latvian, Estonian and Ukrainian friends outside the Russian Embassy. Our Community spoke about the personal impact of these deportations on their families.

The June deportation was a mass deportation by the Soviet Union of tens of thousands of people from their homes in 1940–1941.

We recognise this day, together.

We stood at the top of the mountain and sung our national anthem, and stood in solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Thank you for those who walked, and met us at the top to celebrate together!

became independent from the Soviet Union only 33 years ago, so freedom is still something that people appreciate and don’t take for granted.

We stand with our friends against Russia. What better time to use the word ?

Want to show appreciation for someone?

A simple thank you is always welcome! 🙌

However, if you say it to an English-speaking person, they may just respond "bless you!" 🤣
