VILNIUS, June 15 (Xinhua) -- King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands discussed with Lithuanian leaders defense issues and energy cooperation during His Majesty's state visit to Lithuania on Friday.

Energy cooperation between Lithuania and the Netherlands was highlighted by around 40 business representatives from the largest Dutch energy companies accompanying King Willem-Alexander during his visit to Lithuania.

On Friday, King Willem-Alexander opened the Bilateral Forum on Sustainable Energy in Vilnius, Lithuanian capital.

Around 150 representatives discussed possible cooperation in liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable energy, according to Lithuanian President's Office.

"A global energy giant Shell, which has already started the transportation of small LNG cargoes from the Port of Klaipeda to new LNG distribution station tanks, as well as other Dutch companies are interested in closer cooperation with Lithuania," The Lithuanian President's Office said on Friday.
