A ceremony held in Washington saw former United States Ambassador to Latvia Christopher Robinson receive two of Latvia's highest state honors — the Order of Three Stars and the Order of Viesturs.

The Order of Three Stars is the Republic of Latvia's highest state award, granted for outstanding service to the country. The Order of Viesturs, meanwhile, is traditionally awarded for military merit and contributions to national defense.

The presentation of these honors in Washington underscores the close diplomatic and security ties between Latvia and the United States, and recognizes the former ambassador's contribution to strengthening bilateral relations.

Further details about the ceremony and any other honorees were not available in the source report.
