Lithuanian Energy Minister Zygimantas Vaiciunas said, as quoted in the statement, that it was a "strategically important" decision, which will allow to strengthen Lithuania's energy security and put pressure on Russian gas prices.
Since 2014, the Independence terminal of the Norwegian company Hoegh LNG has been docked in the Lithuanian port city of Klaipeda and is used to supply natural gas from Norway.
