RIGA: The UAE is a strategic partner for Latvia which can serve as a gateway enabling Latvian companies to expand their presence in the GCC, Latvian President Raimonds Vejonis said during his recent meeting with a UAE trade delegation in Riga, led by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Vejonis said Latvian companies can benefit from the expertise of the UAE companies in key sectors such as logistics, transport and construction, which would greatly support efforts to build a Baltic railway connecting the region with other EU countries. The delegation visit to Latvia was organised as part of Dubai Chamber’s Roadshow to the Baltic States which also covered Estonia and Lithuania. (WAM)
