Martins Duhms

"As NATO nations debate and define their future goals, let it be freedom, democracy and good will toward all. Latvia since regaining its freedom 15 years ago, has itself achieved all those goals.  The Latvian-American community is gratified that this NATO summit will be held in Riga, Latvia."

- Martins Duhms,
President and Chairman of the Board
