Latvia would like very much dialogue between EU and Belarus to develop, ambassador says
Latvia would like very much dialogue between the European Union and Belarus to develop, Maira Mora, the Latvian ambassador in Minsk, said on Friday following the signing of an interstate agreement on cooperation in the social security sphere.
“We are very interested in dialogue between Belarus and the European Union and try to do everything possible so that it will take place,” she said. “Now we are expecting the Belarusian authorities to take further steps that could launch this dialogue.”
The ambassador said that Belarus is attractive for Latvian businesspeople, and that representatives of Latvian business circles would visit Belarus soon.
“I hope that certain changes are taking place in Belarus’ policy regarding foreign investments, but I have to note that much still should be done to improve the business environment so that investors will come to Belarus without apprehensions, and that there will be favorable conditions for their activities,” Ms. Mora said.
