Latvia highly appreciates Spain’s swift response to the changing security situation in Europe and the country’s important contribution to the security of the Baltic region.

We highly appreciate Switzerland's leadership in spearheading the recovery of Ukraine.

Ukraine needs the support of the international community now as Ukraine's recovery is not a matter for tomorrow, but today.

This was emphasised by Ināra Mūrniece, Speaker of the Saeima, during her meeting with Ruslan Stefanchuk, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine, in Lugano, Switzerland.
