Rajya Sabha member leads Indian delegation during Latvia visit

Following high-level engagements in Russia, Slovenia, and Greece, the Indian delegation is holding a series of important meetings in Latvia with Members of the Latvian Parliament (Saeima), senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and key stakeholders from think tanks, academia, media, and the Indian diaspora.

Rajya Sabha member Dr Ashok Kumar Mittal is currently in Latvia as part of a distinguished multi-party parliamentary delegation from India. The visit is part of India’s ongoing diplomatic outreach under Operation Sindoor, which emphasises global solidarity against terrorism.

Dr Mittal stated, “Terrorism is a shared global threat and India is committed to working hand-in-hand with the international community to eliminate it. Latvia, as a strong democratic partner, plays a vital role in this dialogue, and I am honoured to contribute to this effort on behalf of India.”

This marks the first high-level Indian parliamentary visit to Latvia since India established its Resident Mission in Riga in July 2024, underscoring the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations.
