Vike-Freiberga: Latvia’s Involvement in Peace Process Possible

Visiting Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga said in Tbilisi on October 5 that it is possible that her country will be involved in the peace processes to help solve the conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

“I would not be against Latvia, as a NATO member state, participating in the peacekeeping process; moreover, Latvia has great experience participating in peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan and Iraq,” the Latvian President said at a joint news briefing with President Saakashvili in Tbilisi on October 5.

Within the frames of a three day official visit the Latvian President has already signed several agreements, including that on resumption of direct flights between the capitals – Tbilisi and Riga.

The two Presidents also participated in a joint Georgian-Latvian business forum on October 5.
