Foreign Minister of Latvia: There will be no armed attack against us but the hybrid war is going on
There is no doubt that there will be no armed attack against Latvia, but there are serious doubts regarding the state’s ability to resist hybrid threats, as was stated at a session of the Latvian Saeima Commission on European Affairs, by Foreign Minister, Edgars Rinkēvičs, Delfi reports.
He has no doubts that there will be no World War and no armed attacks against Latvia, however, as for hybrid threats, the first line of defense requires the strengthening of Latvia.
Rinkēvičs stressed that concerns regarding the country’s ability to resist hybrid threats will be dispelled once the strategy developed by the Commission is implemented.
The Minister noted that there have been two important events in the country’s foreign policy — joining the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation in Europe and the decision at the Warsaw NATO Summit to deploy international forces in Latvia in 2017, under Canadian leadership.
