On 8 September 2021, the State Secretary of the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Andris Pelšs, met with the non-resident Ambassador of Bulgaria, Selver Ahmed Halil.
Andris Pelšs underlined that Latvia and Bulgaria are linked by a good political dialogue; however, their cooperation holds plenty of potential for further development in both bilateral and multilateral formats.
The State Secretary thanked Bulgaria for work invested in the organisation of the Three Seas Initiative (TSI) Summit this past 8 July and 9 July, and he underlined that cooperation between the two countries will have a major role to play in preparations for the next year’s TSI Summit in Riga.
