Lithuania and Mexico initially established diplomatic relations on 31 May 1938 and signed a Treaty of Friendship in Washington, D.C., United States. Mexico never recognized the annexation of Lithuania by the Soviet Union and condemned the action. On 5 November 1991, Mexico recognized and re-established diplomatic relations with Lithuania. In 2002, President [[Valdas Adamkus]] paid a visit to Mexico and met with Mexican President [[Vicente Fox]]. In 2008, President Adamkus returned to Mexico for a visit and met with Mexican President [[Felipe Calderón]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://embamex.sre.gob.mx/suecia/index.php/es/letonia-y-lituania/lituania| title = Relations between Mexico and Lithuania (in Spanish)| access-date = 22 April 2018| archive-date = 23 April 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180423102217/https://embamex.sre.gob.mx/suecia/index.php/es/letonia-y-lituania/lituania| url-status = live}}</ref>

Lithuania and the United States first entered into diplomatic relations on 28 July 1992, thanks to enormous efforts from governmental officials of Lithuania and members of the Lithuanian community in the U.S. During the entire period when Lithuania was occupied, the U.S. pursued a policy of non-recognition of the occupation. After independence was restored, on 6 September 1991 the two countries resumed their cross-border relations. U.S. governmental and non-governmental organisations have lent a lot of assistance to strengthen the public and governmental institutions and market economy of the fledgling democracy.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://usa.mfa.lt/usa/lt/dvisaliai-santykiai/politinis-bendradarbiavimas/su-jav| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160624091516/http://usa.mfa.lt/usa/lt/dvisaliai-santykiai/politinis-bendradarbiavimas/su-jav| archive-date = 24 June 2016| title = su JAV {{!}} Politinis bendradarbiavimas {{!}} Dvišalis bendradarbiavimas {{!}} Lietuvos Respublikos užsienio reikalų ministerija}}</ref> On 2 October 1992, the U.S. embassy was launched in Vilnius.
