A Conversation with Latvian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edgars Rinkēvičs

Launched in 2016, the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) is a valuable project for strengthening trade, infrastructure, energy, and political cooperation among 12 countries bordering the Adriatic Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Black Sea. The initiative, which seeks to grow north south interconnectedness, is a force multiplier that bolsters security in Europe and strengthens transatlantic trade ties by marrying private capital with some of the most dynamic and growing economies, while also helping to stymie Chinese and Russian efforts to make inroads in the region.Latvia is a strong supporter of 3SI and will host the Three Seas Summit and Business Forum in Riga in June 2022. Please join us for a conversation with Latvian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edgars Rinkēvičs on Latvia’s goals for the initiative, 3SI’s importance to broader transatlantic security, why the business community should take notice, and what the U.S. and Latvia can do to ensure its long-term success.
