Latvia–Russia relations (Template:Lang-lv, Template:Lang-ru) is the bilateral foreign relations between Latvia and Russia. Latvia has an embassy in Moscow and two consulate-generals: in Pskov and Saint Petersburg. Russia has an embassy in Riga and two consulate generals: in Daugavpils and Liepāja.
Both Russia and Latvia are members of UN, OSCE and Council of Europe. They recognize each other since 1991.
History
In 2007, the border treaty between the two states was ratified, after the Constitutional Court of Latvia found it constitutional.
In 1920 - 1940, relations between the countries had existed, too (but in 1922 USSR had been founded, which took over the foreign affairs of its member states, including Russia).
Latvia and Estonia have considered nuclear power as a way to cut their energy dependence on Russia.
