Latvian president to visit Azerbaijan next week

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevičs is expected to visit Azerbaijan next week, Latvian Agriculture Minister Armands Krauze said.

“A high-level visit is planned for next week. The Latvian president is expected to arrive in Azerbaijan on Wednesday,” he said.

Latvia recognised Azerbaijan’s independence in 1992, and diplomatic relations were established in 1994.

The Azerbaijani embassy in Latvia opened in 2005, while Latvia’s embassy in Azerbaijan began operations in 2006.
