Raimonds Bergmanis (AS), chairman of the Saeima's Defence, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Committee, has said that Latvia has broad opportunities to develop cooperation with India, but the extent to which these opportunities are used will depend on Latvia itself.

The statement came after a first, introductory meeting on Wednesday with India's ambassador to Latvia, Namrata Satdeve Kumar. The meeting served as an initial acquaintance between the two sides, allowing them to discuss the general contours of future cooperation.

Cooperation potential

According to Bergmanis, relations between Latvia and India offer wide possibilities across various fields, though the source material does not specify particular sectors or projects. He emphasized that success ultimately hinges on Latvia's own ability and willingness to make practical use of these opportunities.

The meeting fell within the committee's area of responsibility, which covers defence, internal affairs and corruption prevention matters in the Saeima. Further details on next steps in strengthening bilateral relations have not yet been made public.
