History of Relations
South Africa was one of the first countries to recognise the newly independent Lithuania along with the other Baltic States on 28 August 1991. Diplomatic relations were established later that year. The SA Ambassador based in Sweden is accredited to Lithuania on a non-residential basis.
Lithuania increased its presence in South Africa by opening Embassy in Pretoria in 2015.
