Great to host colleagues from NB8 countries. Discussed development cooperation challenges and opportunities: reforms of UN and OECD Development Committe, tied vs untied aid. Found many areas where to cooperate, for example sharing experiences of increasing public awareness.

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää hyvat kaverit naapurustossa!🇫🇮🇪🇪

Dear Baltic States, make us proud! 🇪🇪🇪🇺

Here are just a handful of dedicated women in #Estonian diplomacy, working towards a more peaceful, secure & democratic world. We are inspired & utterly grateful for your commitment & efforts. Today & every day. #WomenInDiplomacy #IWD2024

Reconstruction of 🇺🇦continues. Proud of the fact that 🇪🇪 is able to deliver. Not just homes. Hope.

My condolences to the people who have lost dear ones.

It's a landmark day for Sweden & for the whole Alliance! Warm welcome to @NATO family kära svenska vänner! 🇸🇪 We all will be stronger & safer now. It also signifies Allied commitment to open door policy & the fundamental right of every nation to make its own security choices.

#Estonia and #USA signed a historic agreement today to use confiscated criminal assets for #Ukraine. These assets will help rebuild 🇺🇦electrical grid which Russia continues to strike. There will not be any leniency, no going back to business as usual with Russia until 🇺🇦 has won.

🇪🇪MFA Director for Development Cooperation @ingridkressel at @UNICEF_Board: Children suffer first & suffer the most in every conflict & war, including in #Ukraine & #Gaza. We need to protect their lives, their peaceful childhoods, their mental health & their right to education.

Fresh PISA results are out. 🇪🇪 students showed the best results in Europe. #estoniainkorea

Estonia to build 4⃣ homes for large Ukrainian foster families who have adopted war orphans "Supporting 🇺🇦 children is our prirority," said foreign minister @Tsahkna #ESTDEV works w/@Zelenska_FND to deliver houses by the end of 2024 estdev.ee/estdev-en/esto… #FromThePeopleOfEstonia

Supporting #Moldova

#OTD, in 1939, the Red Army crossed the 🇪🇪 Estonian border, marking another step in the destruction of an independent nation. Estonia regained its independence only 52 years later. #NeverAgain

#Estonian goverment approved amendments to the international Sanctions Act, incl. using Russia’s frozen assets to compensate for the damages its war has caused in #Ukraine. I hope it will pass through Riigikogu as soon as possible so Russia would pay for the damages caused.

The last Russian occupiers left #Estonia🇪🇪 29 years ago today. Their final crimes were to loot from farmers' fields on their way out. Some things don’t change. But the world never gave up on us & we will never give up on 🇺🇦. One day, the last occupiers will leave #Ukraine🇺🇦 too.

A joint communiqué has been adopted following the conference in Kyiv on the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against🇺🇦 A tribunal must be established & it is the responsibility of intl community to prevent further atrocities #SpecialTribunalNOW
