The President of Latvia acknowledged that knowledgeable individuals form a modern and open society, who are able to critically evaluate their knowledge and are ready to stand up for their opinions, to justify their judgments, and to assess their choices.
“The young people of Latvia, the participants of the international school subject Olympiads, are such individuals, who are knowledgeable and free whose knowledge already builds today and I am convinced that will also build up a strong Latvia in the future,” noted Raimonds Vējonis.
The President of Latvia also thanked parents, teachers, and supporters for their ability to motivate young people not to stop at what has already been achieved, to set new goals, and to achieve them.
