Hussar is meeting the new Speaker of Latvian parliament Daiga Mieriņa

The two colleagues are meeting today at 10.15 in the Riigikogu, followed by a formal lunch.

“The cooperation between Estonia and Latvia is close, as befits neighbours, and there is a multitude of fields of cooperation. We are both involved in strategically important regional projects such as Rail Baltic, but also recognise the importance of continuing to support Ukraine together every way we can,” Hussar said before the meeting.

The parties plan to discuss regional cooperation in the field of energy and the construction of Rail Baltic, supporting Ukraine in the EU and NATO accession and in rebuilding the country, anti-Russian sanctions and holding Russia accountable for its aggression against Ukraine, security in the Baltic region, and cooperation between the Baltic parliaments.

Daiga Mieriņa became the Speaker of the Saeima on 20 September as the candidate of the government coalition party Union of Greens and Farmers. She previously worked as the Head of the Chair of the Public Administration and Local Government Committee of the Saeima. Before that, she was the Head of the Carnikava and Ādaži local government.

Mieriņa is also scheduled to meet Estonia’s Prime Minister and President, and will visit the NATO Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
