Belarus and Latvia have common history and friendly bilateral relations, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Makei said at the opening ceremony of the exhibition “Latvia: 100. History, Art, Traditions” at the National Art Museum and the reception organized by the Latvian Embassy to mark the 100th anniversary of the Latvian Republic.
The Belarusian foreign minister said that since that time Latvia experienced ups and downs, but the good outweighed the bad. “Today Latvia is a truly respected European state with a strong economy and a decent place on the international arena. For Belarus, Latvia is first of all a good neighbor, a reliable and important partner,” Vladimir Makei emphasized.
In his words, Belarus and Latvia have much in common, but remain unique. The knowledge of history and culture, understanding of traditions, respect for the interests of each other serve as a good foundation for promoting truly good neighborly relations and mutually beneficial partnership.
