Some events become dear traditions quickly and the German language month every April has been exactly that. Our pleasure to join German and Austrian colleagues to highlight and celebrate German language via heartwarming concerts, inspiring school visits and many more activities.
A yearly tradition in 🇱🇻 that our Embassy has been pleased to join for several times already - the Great Cleanup, @LielaTalka. Together with the Prime Minister, colleagues from other Embassies and volunteers, Grāpju pussala got a nice Spring sweep. #LielāTalka

Embassy of Switzerland in Riga retweeted
#OSCE26CH | Four years since #Russia’s war against #Ukraine began.
We remember the victims and those who continue to suffer. 🇨🇭 has condemned this war with clarity and remains firmly committed to #InternationalLaw and the Helsinki principles.
Civilians must be protected, hostilities must cease, and the three detained #OSCE staff members must be released.
The @OSCE must be ready to support any serious diplomatic step, from ceasefire monitoring to security dialogue. Even in war, #dialogue must remain real.
