 Bilateral relations have been traditionally good, but of limited intensity.The entry of Lithuania into NATO on March 29, 2004, and in the European Union on May 1, 2004, together with the opening of a Spanish Embassy in March 2004 (that of Lithuania in Spain opened in 1995), allows us to predict the intensification of these links, such as the increasing immigration of Lithuanians to Spain (estimated at around 20,000).Lithuania is of growing interest for Spain due to the strengthening of the Nordic and Baltic dimension of the European Union that led to the extension of it in 2004.
