Relationship context
Overview
Australia and Lithuania maintain friendly bilateral relations with practical cooperation, including a bilateral social security agreement and arrangements to prevent double taxation. Their relationship is also shaped by shared support for European security and Ukraine, though the scope of direct bilateral cooperation is not clear enough to characterize it as a close partnership.
Key developments
The Australia–Lithuania social security agreement entered into force, coordinating aspects of the two countries’ social security systems.
A bilateral agreement to avoid double taxation came into force, establishing rules for taxation of income between Australia and Lithuania.
Major uncertainties
- The scope and implementation of bilateral cooperation beyond social security and taxation are unclear.
- The extent of recent direct security cooperation between the governments is unclear.
