The Latvian Institute of International Affairs (LIIA) is an organisation focused on international relations and issues shaping Latvia’s foreign and security policy. It shares analysis and expert perspectives on regional and global developments, including European affairs, relations with China, Belarus, the Middle East and Central Asia, and changing patterns of international cooperation.

LIIA produces publications such as the Latvian Foreign and Security Policy Yearbook and topical policy briefs, and supports research through its fellows programmes and projects. Its work is also presented through opinions and expert commentary, with institute contributors appearing in media discussions on current events and political developments.

The institute convenes public events, lectures, conferences, seminars and roundtable discussions, often in cooperation with universities, embassies and other organisations. Recent topics include Moldova’s reforms, Belarus, Japan and the European Union, and future security cooperation. LIIA provides opportunities for audiences to engage with international affairs through these events and its publications, while a newsletter shares updates and invitations. Its activities connect research, public discussion and policy-focused analysis.
