Craig met with the Latvian Ambassador HE Ivita Burmistre and MP Rihards Kols, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Latvian Parliament in his capacity as Chair of the APPG on Latvia.
They covered a number of topics, including their recent elections where it was great to see Rihards returned to their Parliament. Understandably, defence and security was high up on the agenda given their proximity to Ukraine but we also discussed trade opportunities for the Midlands as well as other areas of mutual cooperation.
A delegation from the Latvian Parliament will be returning to the UK next month and Craig is looking forward to welcoming them back here for further discussions.
