On an additional note. 1 am aiso hopeful that we will soon be able to meet face to face. With this in mmd, 1 understand that there has been a good tradition of Baltic States transport Ministers to hold a meeting every autumn. For the Iast two years, unfortunately, thcse meetings have not taken place due to COVID-19 limitations. My hope is, that in the upcoming autumn, we wiII be able to restore this great tradition. 1 also noticed that the Baltic States transport Ministers meeting has not been previously synchronized with the Presidency of the wider Baitic cooperation framework. We would be ready to host the meeting in Tallinn this autumn but as Latvia holds currently the Presidency of the Baltic States cooperation framework, then we would firstly like to ask whether Latvia wouid like to use the opportunity and host the transport Ministers meeting in Latvia? Technical contacts can foliow-up on this question. 1 want to thank you again for ali the good wishes and 1 remain hopeful that we will be able to meet very soon!
