hillary Clinton's trip to Latvia makes her first in post to log more than 100 nations

Between her duties as secretary of state and first lady, Hillary Clinton has represented the US in 122 countries

Hillary Clinton was given flowers during a meeting with Lavian president Andris Berzins on Thursday. 

Hillary Clinton became the first US secretary of state to travel to more than 100 countries on Thursday.
Clinton set the frequent-flier record when she touched down in Riga, Latvia, and commemorated the strong stand that one of her predecessors had taken against Soviet expansion.
Madeleine Albright, who was secretary of state under Bill Clinton, held the previous record, visiting 96 countries while in office.
In three and a half years on the job, Clinton has logged 70 trips to countries from Afghanistan to Zambia, the department said. She has spent 337 days on the road, including more than 1,750 hours, or more than 73 days, on her air force 757, according to the department.
Counting her trips abroad as first lady, Clinton has now represented the United States in 122 countries, according to her staff.
Clinton, who first visited Riga with her husband in 1994, was in Latvia on the second stop of a four-nation European swing. She visited Finland on Wednesday and plans later stops in St Petersburg, Russia, and then Geneva, where she will attend an international conference aimed at ending the crisis in Syria.
In Riga, Clinton met Latvian officials and dedicated a street in front of the US embassy in honor of former undersecretary of state Sumner Welles. In 1940, he issued what became known as the Welles Declaration, which set out Washington's refusal to recognize the Soviet Union's takeover of the Baltic states Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
"We were proud never to have wavered in supporting the independence of Latvia and the Latvian people, and we are proud now to be a partner of a free Latvia," Clinton said before meeting the country's prime minister
