Gabrielius Landsbergis

Gabrielius Landsbergis (born 7 January 1982) is a Lithuanian politician and diplomat who served as Lithuania's Minister of Foreign Affairs from December 2020 until November 2024 in the Šimonytė Cabinet. A key figure in Lithuanian politics, Landsbergis previously served as a Member of the Seimas from 2016 to 2024, representing the Centras–Žaliakalnis constituency.

He is also a former Member of the European Parliament (2014–2016), where he represented Lithuania as part of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats). During his tenure in the European Parliament, Landsbergis served on the Committee on International Trade and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, focusing on global trade and defense policy. Since 2015, Landsbergis has been Chairman of the Homeland Union (Lithuanian Christian Democrats), Lithuania's center-right political party.

Under his leadership, the Homeland Union became a leading force in Lithuanian politics. After the party's second-place finish in the 2024 Lithuanian parliamentary election, Landsbergis stepped down as chairman and declined a proportional-list seat in the Seimas, stating his intention to take a break from politics. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Landsbergis was a vocal advocate for European integration, NATO solidarity, and democratic values.

His tenure was defined by Lithuania's strong support for Ukraine during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as efforts to counter Russian influence in the region.
