Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal Joins All-Party Parliamentary Delegation Visit to Latvia
Following high-level engagements in Russia, Slovenia, and Greece, the Indian delegation is holding a series of high-level meetings 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.
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.
The visit highlights India’s united political stance across parties on zero tolerance toward terrorism and promotes its evolving counter-terrorism doctrine, which prioritizes global cooperation, accountability, and decisive action based on shared commitments to global security, democratic values, and enhanced international cooperation.
