The year 2017 has been dynamic and challenging. Latvia has strengthened its security within the Euro-Atlantic community. In accordance with the decisions of the Warsaw Summit, NATO’s multinational forces were deployed in Latvia and the other Baltic States. Latvia has fostered regional cooperation with its neighbouring countries within the framework of the EU and NATO. At the same time, pro-active policies have included support for the Eastern Partnership countries and cooperation with the Central Asian countries. The identification and development of opportunities in the general direction of Asia has continued. However, the transformative global and regional environment is a clear challenge for Latvia’s foreign policy. The last year has displayed the international and regional challenges Latvia will have to face in 2018. The Euro-Atlantic community has generally overcome the acute phase of the crisis. The wave of political populism has been slowed down through very significant elections in France and Germany. Despite Donald Trump’s pre-election criticism of NATO, the United States has been sticking to its commitment to strengthen security on the Alliance’s eastern flank. At the same time, Euro-Atlantic solidarity is no longer self-evident or carved in stone. Countries often have different positions regarding external threats, security promotion measures, relations with neighbouring countries, migration problems and large infrastructure projects. Europe continues to face the geopolitical ambitions of the great powers, in the first instance those of Russia. Latvia has tried to demonstrate its willingness to engage in dialogue with its largest neighbour, but relations with Russia have remained complicated. Disinformation campaigns have become an integral part of international relations. 5 We continue to believe and emphasise that the external and security policy begins with organising one’s own home. The Euro-Atlantic area is a community of like- minded people, but the different approaches and challenges within it require a forward-thinking, smart and also rather flexible strategy. The most important thing for Latvia is to ensure its political, economic and social stability. The Saeima elections in 2018 will be an important benchmark for further successful development of the nation, especially in the context of the centenary celebrations of Latvia. Integrating society and building intrinsic trust is a continuous goal. Strategic communication is becoming increasingly important both externally and internally. Only a confident, secure and integrated country will be able to take advantage of full participation in Euro-Atlantic structures and implement a proactive foreign policy. The Latvian Foreign and Security Policy Yearbook 2018 aims to provide an assessment and explanation of the challenges for Latvia’s foreign and security policy in 2018. The publication analyses the events and decisions of 2017 and seeks to highlight Latvia’s foreign and security policy scenarios and recommendations for 2018. Partnership and cooperation are essential to achieve a successful outcome. The Yearbook 2018 reflects the importance of cooperation – it has gained a lot due to the enthusiasm of our Latvian experts to share their views and suggestions. We are grateful for the support of the Saeima and the Foreign Affairs Committee and the European Affairs Committee in particular, which have made significant contributions and rendered support to the foreign policy research and public information. Their support has enabled us to publish this in two languages, as well as organise several regional debates with representatives of the Saeima with the aim of informing the public about different points of view and positions on important foreign policy issues. We have productive and mutually beneficial cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which enables a bridge to be built between policy-makers and stakeholders. The sustained and generous support provided by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation has also been irreplaceable. The Foundation has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to promoting intellectual debate and exchange of views at national and international
