British Days in Latvia to feature a number of cultural, sports and business events
The upcoming British Days in Latvia will feature a number of cultural,
sports and business events, which will be taking place over the course of the next
few weeks, as the British Embassy in Riga informed LETA.
The purpose of the British Days is to strengthen the ties between Great
Britain and Latvia, and give residents of Latvia the opportunity to learn more
about the British culture, sports, cuisine, and business opportunities, the
embassy explained.
One of the main events of the British Days in Latvia will be a visit by the
women's rugby team of the Royal Air Force, which will compete with Latvian
women's rugby teams in a mini-tournament on October 25.
The program of the British Days includes classical music and blues
concerts, a concert by Birmingham Brass Band at the Great Guild Hall on October
21, and a concert by the Scottish blues musician Dave Arcari at Latvian Rock Cafe on October 22.
Several films that won BAFTA Awards this year will be screened in Riga,
Liepaja, Daugavpils and Valmiera starting next week.
In addition, several representatives of British security companies will
visit Latvia to present their solutions and products to prospective cooperation
partners. There will also be seminars for startups organized as part of the
Global Entrepreneur Program of the International Trade Department of the
British government.
