On 3 April 2026, in an official ceremony in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Latvia, Kārlis Eihenbaums, presented his letter of credence to the President of Mongolia, Khurelsukh Ukhnaa.
The Latvian ambassador expressed his determination to promote the further development of bilateral relations between Latvia and Mongolia, based on the principles of international law and mutual respect. Kārlis Eihenbaums affirmed his intention to support the deepening of economic and cultural ties between Latvia and Mongolia and highly appreciated Mongolia’s friendly stance and its support for Latvia’s candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council in the election held on 3 June 2025.
The Ambassador called for more active dialogue and cooperation, and noted the responsibility of all UN Member States in ensuring international stability, especially in today’s complex geopolitical circumstances. He further noted that international security challenges, including Russia’s war in Ukraine, as well as conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, and other regions, significantly impact the global economy, food security, healthcare, and the environmental and climate situation. These issues are important for all countries, including Mongolia. Kārlis Eihenbaums also emphasised the need to stabilise the global and regional security situation through strict adherence to international law and the principles of state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
During the accreditation visit, the Ambassador met with the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Munkhtushig Lkhanaajav, and other officials, as well as the Head of the EU Delegation in Mongolia, Ina Marciulionyte.
