A few days ago an informal meeting of the Baltic Council was held in Vihula in Estonia. Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis (Unity) talked about the importance of closer cooperation between the Baltic states.
Dombrovskis is looking forward to this by strengthening the innovation potential and promoting different cooperation networks between the three countries.
He also said that Latvia has an ambition to continue cooperation with Lithuania and Estonia in the leading cross-border program "Innovation, Cluster and SME Networks of the Baltic Sea Region" implemented within the framework of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region.
The Prime Minister also talked about his country’s interest to strengthen the single EU market and develop an effective digital market.
Latvian news agency LETA writes that “the Baltic prime ministers positively assessed the agreement that was reached during the last European Council on the allocation of the European Union's co-financing to the gas terminal project. Dombrovskis pointed to the fact that the construction of the LNG terminal in Latvia would improve the security of energy supply in the Baltic region providing for diversification of gas supplies”.
