Guinea–Lithuania relations are the bilateral international relations between Guinea and Lithuania.
History
Guinea was among the African countries that recognized Lithuania's independence even before Lithuania became a member of the United Nations. It did so on 6 September 1991, becoming the third African country to recognize Lithuania after South Africa and Tunisia.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries were officially established on 27 April 1997, and in 1996 Guinea accredited its ambassador to Lithuania. Relations between the countries are primarily conducted through multilateral channels, and there is no public record of bilateral meetings between high-level officials of Lithuania and Guinea.
Multilateral cooperation dominates the relationship, especially through the United Nations, but also through the European Union. On 28 October 2004, during the 59th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Lithuania, Guinea, and 14 other countries were elected members of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the term 2005–2007.

History

During the South African Border War, Namibia (then known as South West Africa) fought for its independence against South Africa, which had occupied the territory in 1915 after taking it from Germany. In 1971, Argentina officially declared at the United Nations that it did not recognize any South African authority over Namibia. The Argentine government supported Namibia's independence, and in 1985, during a United Nations meeting on Namibia held in Vienna, Argentina called for comprehensive sanctions against the South African government.
In March 1990, Namibia gained its independence from South Africa. On 31 July of the same year, Argentina and Namibia established diplomatic relations.
In May 1998, high-level Argentine officials attended the Southern Africa Economic Summit in Windhoek, a joint initiative of the World Economic Forum and the Secretariat of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The aim of the summit was to provide a meeting point for the regional and international business community, international organizations, and government representatives.
In July 2012, Namibia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Utoni Nujoma, visited Argentina and met with his counterpart, Héctor Timerman. In 2015, Namibia's Minister of Agriculture, John Mutorwa, traveled to Argentina and visited the National Reference Laboratory of SENASA.
