Foreign Minister Reinsalu: the Estonian community is global
On February 14th, Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu gave the annual speech on Estonia’s foreign policy at the Riigikogu, outlining the main foreign policy measures of Estonia. The minister concentrated on the need to continue offering comprehensive assistance to Ukraine and isolating Russia.
The Foreign Minister also stated in his speech that the Estonian community is increasingly global:
"Just as business is increasingly global, so are Estonian communities. Estonians living abroad are not separate or distant from all matters Estonian. Overall, we function as a supportive community spanning the whole globe. Estonia’s foreign policy is increasingly prioritising global Estonians. For example, we are supporting cultural events organised by Estonian societies abroad and the publication of Estonian-language media, we are funding camps of Estonian language and culture in Estonia and the traineeships of young people in Estonia. We are also contributing ideas and effort to creating a common Estonian information space to help unite Estonians into a more connected global family."
