HELSINKI (AP) — The head of Latvia’s government tapped an experienced diplomat to become the Baltic nation’s new foreign minister after the incumbent stepped down earlier this week amid a criminal probe over alleged misuse of government funds.

.Latvian Television LTV said Braže’s candidacy will be officially announced on Monday and lawmakers at the Saiema, Latvia’s 100-seat Parliament, are set to vote on a motion of confidence in her on Thursday.
Among other posts, Braže has previously served as Latvia’s ambassador to Britain and to The Netherlands, and held the post of NATO’s deputy secretary general for public diplomacy in 2020-2023.
