Popis: The government of Latvia regards the selection of its capital, Riga, as the site of the NATO summit to be held in November 2006 as a recognition of all it has achieved since recovering its freedom from totalitarian rule, including developing the fastest growing economy in Europe, dispatching troops to serve on three international peacekeeping forces, endorsing the candidacy of several European states for membership in the European Union, and supporting the extension of the European Union and the strengthening of NATO. Latvia considers NATO as the repository of the values of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law. Dedicated to the rejuvenation of NATO, the heads of government of member states intend, at the Riga summit, to renew their efforts to fulfill the long-term goal of transforming NATO into an instrument for peace and goodwill throughout the world.
