Visited a combat shooting exercise of Estonian Defence Forces | Eesti Kaitsevägi today. I was glad to see motivated and skillful soldiers. They are the true cornerstone of our defence readiness. Estonia remains committed to investing in weapons, ammunition, and training areas to ensure our people's security.
Just arrived to Finland for my first foreign visit as the Prime Minister. Friendship and close cooperation between our nations are extremely important, as we share common challenges in security and economy. Looking forward to meeting you soon, Petteri Orpo and Alexander Stubb.
Had a good exchange of thoughts with you, Alexander Stubb. Estonia and Finland have excellent security cooperation, both regionally and in NATO. We must continue to show our steadfast support to Ukraine and further raise the cost of war for Russia.
Thank you, Petteri Orpo, for such a warm welcome. Two Prime Ministers discussing politics in sauna shows well how close we are – culturally and politically. We have common goals on strengthening our economic ties, joint deterrence and competitiveness of the EU.
Looking forward to a purposeful weekend with Kristen Michal & Evika Siliņa 🇱🇻🇺🇦 @ Lithuanian coast discussing 🇪🇪, 🇱🇹 & 🇱🇻 cooperation in the fields of security & energy independence of our region, support to Ukraine, EU development & other vital topics.
Happy to discover the Lithuanian coast this weekend with my Baltic colleagues Ingrida Šimonytė and Evika Siliņa 🇱🇻🇺🇦, as we meet for the informal summer gathering. Good mutual understanding is the basis for our successful cooperation. By working together, we can achieve great things.
My heartfelt congratulations on your Independence Day, dear Ukrainian friends and Denys Shmyhal. Estonia will continue to stand firmly by your side, as you fight not only for your own freedom, but for Europe’s future. Слава Україні!
Great and candid discussion with the U.S. CODEL led by Senator Mark Kelly, focusing on how to help Ukraine win and boosting NATO's defence posture. Thankful for their leadership, support for the Baltic Security Initiative and the military presence in the region. Hope it continues.
Good discussion on the phone today with Charles Michel. We need to send a strong message this autumn that Europe takes its security seriously and continues to stand firmly by Ukraine. Investing in our defence strengthens Europe, but also helps Ukraine to win the war.
Wishing you great success in your new role as Prime Minister of France, Michel Barnier. Estonia and France share strong bilateral ties and are steadfast allies in NATO and partners in the EU. Looking forward to our close cooperation to enhance security and prosperity in
Thank you for a warm meeting, Bajram Begaj. We are allies in NATO and hopefully soon even more bound through the EU family. Albania has set a great example of dedicated European integration. Highly appreciate your strong support to Ukraine.
Glad to speak with you on the phone, Ursula von der Leyen. Pleased that our visions on making Europe stronger and more competitive have a lot in common. Our close cooperation is the key to moving forward with increasing our defence readiness, energy security and boosting industries.
Happy to meet so many business leaders at today’s annual AmCham Estonia luncheon. My main message was that although increasing certainty is expensive, uncertainty is even more costly. Knowing that we are independent and well protected is crucial for Estonia to grow and
