“At present NATO is more than just defense or military Alliance. For us Latvian businessmen, it is important to have not only the order and security of the affairs implemented by NATO, but also the support in defending the civil rights in all member-states. We consider development in science and technology to be very important, especially the transfer of know-how and knowledge from the military sphere to the civil one
