Regional cooperation—practical and pragmatic—is an important part of every country’s foreign policy. For #Latvia, such cooperation is embodied by the Baltic Trio (B3).

As part of the #Slovak Republic’s current leadership of the so-called #Slavkov Format (S3), together with the #Czech Republic and #Austria, I had the honor of hosting a working lunch for the #S3 ambassadors in Riga. The #Auditor General of the Republic of Latvia, Mr. Edgards Korčsagins, kindly accepted the invitation as the guest of honor.

The lunch was attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Austria, Ms. Bernadette Klösch, and the Ambassador of the Czech Republic, Mr. Martin Vítek.

Thank you for the insightful conversation!

Today, we are entering the fifth year of Russia‘s unjustified war of aggression against #Ukraine and its people. It is our common responsibility to support Ukraine until #Russia finally
ends these brutal attacks,
ends this unjustified war,
ends this horrible killing.

Angesichts der globalen Herausforderungen ist das Außenministerium mit seinem rot-weiß-roten Sicherheitsnetz noch stärker gefordert als bisher, österreichische Interessen mit Nachdruck weltweit zu vertreten - partnerschaftlich, vertrauensvoll und dialogbereit. Mein Dank gilt unseren Botschafterinnen und Botschaftern und dem gesamten #TeamBMEIA für den Einsatz rund um die Uhr für Österreichs Sicherheit, Wohlstand und für alle Österreicherinnen und Österreicher, wenn’s drauf ankommt! 💗🤝@MFA_Austria
