Expressing his gratitude and humility, Rinkevics stated: "I am honored and humbled to be elected as President of the Republic of Latvia. I will do my best to serve the people of Latvia well. I thank Members of Parliament for their trust."
With an impressive career spanning over a decade, Rinkevics previously served as Latvia's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2011 to 2023.

As the newly elected president, Rinkevics will not only take on the responsibility of leading Latvia but will also represent the nation at the upcoming NATO summit scheduled to be held in Vilnius in July.
His extensive diplomatic experience positions him well to navigate Latvia's relationships on the international stage and address critical matters impacting the country and its role in the European Union and NATO.
Rinkevics's appointment as Latvia's next president signals a significant milestone for the nation, as he prepares to take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The Latvian people and the international community will now look to him for leadership and guidance as he assumes this vital role in shaping the future of the country. (ILKHA)
