During the meeting following the presentation of the letter of credentials of the Latvian ambassador, President Karis remarked that Estonia and Latvia continue to enjoy a very good and very close relationship. “There are a lot of opportunities for us to work together in the fields of energy, security and infrastructure projects,” the head of state said. “We will also benefit by making ourselves more familiar with each other’s language and culture. Our close cooperation is reflected in our like-mindedness regarding a range of international issues. We must continue to place pressure on Russia to support Ukraine and bring the war to an end. We must also work towards the rebuilding of the country. War crimes and crimes against humanity must be investigated and those behind them brought to justice.”
