Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins, who attended the Raisina Dialogue 2024, recently said the diplomatic relationship between India and his nation is moving towards a positive direction.

He said India has a huge role to play in the Indo-Pacific region.

 "The diplomatic relations with India and Latvia are actually very good. We have an embassy here in New Delhi, and the Indian government has recently made a decision to open up an embassy in Riga. So the bilateral relationships are very good. And the relationship between the European Union and India is also growing and developing in a very positive direction," the Minister told ANI.

Describing India as a 'big power', he said: "I think India has a very big role to play, of course, here in the Indo-Pacific."

" As a big democracy here in Indo-Pacific, it is very important that we work Europe works together with India," he said.

He said: "The world needs stability. In this part of the world, India has a huge role to play. Taking the economic weight combined with its democratic values, I think India has an ever big role to play also in world diplomacy.”

The Raisina Dialogue is India’s flagship conference on geopolitics and geo-economics, committed to addressing the most challenging issues facing the international community.

India is hosting the 9th edition of the Raisina Dialogue from February 21-23.
