On 9 November, Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Maria Malmer Stenergard, visited Estonia for a series of engagements focused on strengthening the close partnership between Estonia and Sweden.
During her visit, she held a bilateral meeting with Estonia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, where discussions focused on regional security, strengthening NATO’s defence capabilities, continued support for Ukraine, and closer Nordic-Baltic (NB8) cooperation.
Minister Malmer Stenergard also attended the celebrations marking the 108th anniversary of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she was awarded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Cross of Merit First Class in recognition of her significant contribution to strengthening Nordic-Baltic unity and security.
The visit also included a lecture at Tallinn University, where she met with students of European and international law to discuss Nordic-Baltic cooperation and shared regional security challenges.
Sweden and Estonia are close partners and allies, united by shared values, common interests and a strong commitment to our region’s security. In an increasingly challenging international environment, our cooperation matters more than ever.
