On the 11th and 12th of October, international relations experts and leaders from all around the globe will gather in the Latvian National Library in Riga to discuss key regional, international security, and policy issues. The conference aims to create a positive environment for exchanging views and opening up discussions. Over the past decade the Rīga Conference has established a name for itself not only on a national but also on a regional level – since 2006, the conference has been a meeting place for countless leaders and experts from around the world. The Rīga Conference is organised jointly by the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation, the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia.
