In a concerted effort to strengthen the cultural and linguistic bonds between India and Lithuania, a Lithuanian Sanskrit scholar, Vytis Vidunas, and the Ambassador of Lithuania to India, Diana Mickeviciene, have embarked on a mission to explore the deep-rooted linguistic connections between Sanskrit and the Lithuanian language. Speaking on the importance of recognising the profound link between these two languages, Ambassador Diana Mickeviciene told that Lithuanian, as the "closest living sister language to Sanskrit," serves as a unique bridge between the two peoples.
