	Latvian diplomatic service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members of Latvian diplomatic service in Western Countries continued to formulate and express the official opinion of the Republic of Latvia, and protected the interests of Latvia and their citizens abroad all time during 1940-1991.

		Anatols Dinbergs, diplomat who had served for his country for almost 60 years, was promoted to the rank of Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations (September - December 1991) as well as Ambassador to the USA (1991-1992).
