“Latvia’s participation in the UN Security Council over the next two years is a significant opportunity to speak out more loudly in support of Ukraine, respect for international law, and holding Russia accountable. It is an opportunity for Latvia to effectively act as a major power over the next two years.
Participation in the UN Security Council gives Latvia the opportunity to promote and keep on the agenda issues that are relevant to our region, thereby helping to strengthen Latvia’s security. It is proof that we are capable of addressing international diplomatic issues at the highest level.”
Ambassador of Latvia to the UN Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes
