Latvia’s Independence: Traditional Music Showcases Culture

Latvia National Day

Two women in traditional Latvian folk attire sing into microphones on an outdoor stage. The woman on the left wears a dark cap with white embroidery, a white blouse, and a plaid shawl in red, green, and black. Her hair is in braids with red ribbons. The woman on the right, slightly out of focus, also wears a traditional embroidered top and hat.
Latvian vocalists perform in traditional folk costumes during celebrations for Latvia’s 107th Proclamation of Independence anniversary.

On behalf of the United States of America and the American people, I want to congratulate the people of Latvia on the 107th anniversary of your Proclamation of Independence.

Partnership

Latvia is a valued partner of the United States. For over 100 years, the United States and Latvia have worked together to expand trade, increase energy cooperation, and strengthen regional stability. As a model NATO Ally, we commend Latvia‘s pledge to meet the 5 percent of GDP defense spending commitment in 2026. Our alliance enhances global security and our shared values make Americans and Latvians safer and more prosperous.

Anniversary Message

As you commemorate the anniversary of your independence today, I wish all Latvians a successful year ahead.
