Latvia would welcome shipments of Canadian LNG to help Europe reduce its dependence on Russian gas in the aftermath of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, says the Baltic state’s new ambassador to Canada.
Kaspars Ozolins said there is a proposal in the works to build a liquefied natural gas import terminal near the Baltic Sea port of Skulte, Latvia, and that his country would encourage Canadian investors.
“We are trying to build a resilient energy system,” Mr. Ozolins said in an interview. “If Canada is going to invest in LNG, we would wholeheartedly support it.”
