On 26 March, President Edgars Rinkēvičs met with the fifth President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili at the Riga Castle. During the meeting, the President reaffirmed Latvia’s support for the people of Georgia.
“The overwhelming majority of Georgia’s population supports the country’s irreversible path towards European Union membership. Latvia will continue to support Georgian civil society, youth, and independent media,” said President Rinkēvičs. At the same time, the President expressed concern over initiatives that continue to restrict freedom of speech and assembly in Georgia, as well as the violent suppression of peaceful protests.
President Rinkēvičs assured that Latvia will continue to keep Georgia’s issues high on the European Union’s agenda, as well as within other international organisations.
