Chairman of the Estonia-Latvia Parliamentary Friendship Group Peeter Tali said that the purpose of the visit was to learn about the educational life near the Estonian-Latvian border. “In January last year, we met with the delegation of the Latvian parliament in Valga, and today we are making a return visit to the region of Smiltene on the other side of the border to discuss improving vocational education in border areas, the priorities of the Estonian-Latvian cooperation programme, and civil protection,” Tali added. “We will certainly also discuss in depth the issues relating to the construction of Rail Baltic and the reconstruction of Via Baltica as a four-lane road.”
The delegation of the Estonia-Latvia Parliamentary Friendship Group of the Riigikogu will meet with the Latvia-Estonia Parliamentary Friendship Group of the Saeima at Smiltene Secondary School. They will also have meetings with the representatives of the local government of Smiltene and visit Smiltene Technical School.
The delegation of the Estonia-Latvia Parliamentary Friendship Group consists of Chairman Peeter Tali, Deputy Chair Ester Karuse and members of the group Irja Lutsar and Anti Poolamets.
