Līva Stūrmane, recently confirmed as the head of the Latvian Exporters Association The Red Jackets, has given an interview to Dienas Bizness. She emphasizes that Latvian exporters must adapt to a changing world, comparing the situation to a surfer who needs to catch a wave. According to Stūrmane, the most prominent wave right now is defense – meaning export opportunities should be sought in security and defense sectors.
