Taiwan's foreign ministry says there is no plan to rename its office in Lithuania, pushing back on foreign media reports that Vilnius wanted a change.

• Reports claimed Lithuania asked Taiwan to rename its "Taiwanese Representative Office" in Vilnius, the first European office to carry the Taiwan name.
• Taiwan's deputy foreign minister called the reports baseless rumors that could hurt ties between Taiwan and Lithuania, and said there is no renaming plan.
• He added Lithuania has told Taiwan its dealings with China do not require sacrificing Taiwan.
• Separately, Taiwan confirmed it is a full APEC member with the right to join all APEC activities, and will keep pushing back when rules or norms are not followed, as this year's APEC summit in China approaches without Taiwan's attending representative yet named.

Outlook: Expect Taiwan to keep denying the rename claim while it finalizes who will represent it at the upcoming APEC summit.
