Hussar is meeting his Nordic and Baltic colleagues in Latvia

The Speakers talk about offering the broadest possible support to Ukraine, including in the accession process to the European Union. In light of the ongoing Russian aggression, the Speakers discuss imposing and strengthening sanctions, enhancing defence and deterrence in the Nordic and Baltic region, and handling cyberattacks. All this is viewed from the perspective of the role of parliaments in carrying out these actions.

The Speakers also explore the opportunities and challenges posed by AI in parliamentary work and in international security, as well as developing cooperation between the Nordic and Baltic parliaments both within the region and with other countries.

On the occasion of the 35^th anniversary of the Baltic Way, the Speakers will take part in the flower laying ceremony at the Freedom monument in Riga on Friday.

Nordic-Baltic cooperation, or NB8, has been bringing Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania around the same table since 1992. The first meeting of the NB8 Speakers took place in 1997 in Karlskrona, Sweden.
