On 31 January, Minister of Foreign Affairs Zbigniew Rau will visit Riga to meet with his counterparts from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

The priority talking points will include the current state of cooperation between the countries in the region and the options to enhance and coordinate this cooperation. Also discussed will be prospects for continued joint work in the EU and NATO as well as in regional security organisations. The situation in war-ridden Ukraine will also be high on the meeting's agenda. The ministers of foreign affairs will talk about matters concerning support provided to Ukraine, in particular in its political and diplomatic dimension as well as in terms of military, financial, and humanitarian assistance. The implementation of another, tenth round of sanctions targeting Russia and the prosecution of individuals responsible for war crimes perpetrated in Ukraine will be put up for debate in this context.
