Latvia Urges European Commission to Keep Firm Stance in Trade Talks With China

Latvia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on the European Commission to maintain a firm position in trade talks with China. The ministry told the news agency LETA.

Latvia is calling on the European Commission (EC), the executive body of the European Union, to maintain a firm position in trade talks with China. The Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Latvian news agency LETA.

Through its foreign ministry, Latvia is thus stating its view on EU–China trade relations. The EC negotiates trade matters with non-EU countries on behalf of the Union, so signals from member states can shape the bloc's common approach.

The source gives no further details on which specific trade issues are under discussion, what proposals Latvia has made, or how the EC has responded to the call.
