Latvia APPG

First Registered: 29/09/2015 • Last updated on: 01/09/2026

The APPG will focus on links between citizens of each country, our security alliance via NATO, Baltic and other defence partnerships, as well as cultural exchange between the UK and Latvia.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
