Ukraine among Estonia’s priority partners in Eastern Partnership – Reinsalu

He said this during his speech in Riigikogu (Parliament) on Tuesday, February 11, the press service of the Estonian Foreign Ministry reported.

"Estonia continues to contribute actively to development cooperation and humanitarian aid to alleviate human suffering, assist those in conflicts and help continue reforms in Eastern Partnership countries," Reinsalu said.

Estonia’s development cooperation continues to focus on priority partners Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus and Afghanistan. "Thus, we have supported small enterprises in Ukraine, healthcare in Moldova, and school education in Georgia. For improved efficiency and analysis of our development cooperation, plans are underway to establish a Development Cooperation Agency and compose its strategy for action," the minister noted.

Reinsalu stressed that Estonia was implementing an independent and consistent foreign and security policy, mainly through its involvement in the European Union and NATO. "Estonia values the unity and cooperation between the European Union and NATO, and we continue to see the European Union as a union of states, not a federal state," he said.
