A planned deployment of a multinational NATO battle group in Latvia will be completed by June 2017, Latvia's new Chief of Defense Leonids Kalnins told reporters on Wednesday.

The battalion unit will include more than 1,000 soldiers from six countries, with Canada leading the battle group as its framework nation.
