    Lithuanian leaders conveyed their best wishes to Poland on the 233rd anniversary of the May 3 Constitution of 1791, considered Europe’s first modern written constitution.

    The May 3 Constitution, titled the Governance Act, was adopted by the Great Sejm for the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a dual monarchy comprising the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

    In a letter to Polish President Andrzej Duda, his Lithuanian counterpart, Gitanas Nausėda, wrote that “Constitution Day on May 3 is important not only for Poland and Lithuania, but also for the whole of Europe and the world.”

    “A document of particular importance proves the long-term, unique and inseparable ties and ideals connecting both countries, which are as important to us today as they were centuries ago,” the letter read.

    Nausėda added that Lithuania and Poland are allies and partners in NATO and the European Union, working together to ensure the security not only of both countries, but also of the whole of Europe, and supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggressor. The Speaker of the Seimas, the Lithuanian Parliament, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, also offered her best wishes to Poland.

    “I would like to express my sincere wish that the principles enshrined in the May 3 Constitution and the Pledge [Mutual between the Two Nations adopted by the Great Sejm on October 20, 1791] will unite our nations, encourage pride in the achievements of our nations and serve as a solid basis for friendly relations and strategic cooperation,” she wrote in a letter to Szymon Hołownia, her Polish counterpart, and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, the speaker of Polish Senate. Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė sent a message to Donald Tusk, her Polish counterpart, in which he wrote that the May 3 Constitution Day “is not only a Polish national holiday, but also a holiday of the Lithuanian nation.” “We are brotherly nations and historic allies. Historically, our nations have always been united by the pursuit of freedom and the clear understanding that only united are we strong. We have always been and will remain on the side of Poland’s freedom and together we will build the prosperity and well-being of our nations in a united Europe,” she wrote.
