Opened the Estonian-Swedish business seminar in Gothenburg, focused on the future of mobility and transport.
My message: if you put Swedish and Estonian companies together, you can generate new, green and ground-breaking solutions.
My visit to Sweden started with a surprise welcome by His Royal Highness Prince Daniel.
Estonia and #Sweden are close friends and excellent partners.
Looking forward to the upcoming two days in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Visiting Sweden with a business delegation on 24-25 May. Innovative neighbours must stick together.
On the agenda: Gothenburg and Stockholm to meet @SwedishPM.
Met with companies accompanying me. Our focus: sustainability, mobility & digitalisation.
Military Exercise #Siil2022 in full action.
Went to thank the great men and women of the Defence League doing their part for our security.
Also an interesting experience today playing none other than myself as PM in @Kaitsevagi communication exercise.
Thank you @TimmermansEU for all your good work on the Green Deal.
A just transition and achievable goals will ensure it has the support of our people.
#Fitfor55 ja #REpowerEU will help us assure affordable energy and energy independence.
Now it’s official: Estonian Government moved fast and decided today to approve requests by Sweden and Finland to join @NATO. Important formal step to open up the doors of NATO by our side. Welcome, dear neighbours @marinsanna and @SwedishPM #WeAreNATO
Together with @krisjaniskarins and @IngridaSimonyte we warmly welcome the historic decisions of #Finland and #Sweden to join NATO.
🇫🇮's and 🇸🇪's NATO membership will help to create an even more peaceful, secure and prosperous Nordic-Baltic region.
A day for the history books: tervetuloa and välkommen to the NATO family, Finland and Sweden!
I encourage a rapid accession process. We in Estonia will do our part fast.
#StrongerTogether #WeAreNato @SwedishPM @MarinSanna
Warmest greetings to my good colleague @jonasgahrstore and the people of Norway on the Norwegian Constitution Day.
I am confident that our friendship and cooperation will only strengthen over time - be it in #NATO or bilaterally in areas like energy and climate.
Exercise #Siil2022 (Hedgehog) started today.
One of the largest in our region, it brings together Estonian Defence Forces & League and 10 @NATO allies & partner nations.
Pay attention to the name: like NATO, a hedgehog doesn't attack but knows well how to defend itself.
Landmark announcements from Sweden today that set the country firmly on way to NATO membership.
Good for Sweden, our region, Europe & NATO.
As I told @SwedishPM, Estonia will support you in every way and lead by example regarding a speedy accession process #StrongerTogether.
When duty calls on a spring Sunday, hopping on the bike is the ultimate way to get there. #biketowork #TallinnDay
People across Europe again demonstrate it loud and clear: #Ukraine is in all our hearts.
Congratulations to Ukraine and Kalush Orchestra for winning #Eurovision . A powerful song and a powerful message.
Slava Ukraini!
We’re in a watershed moment: decoupling from Russian energy and accelerating green transition. But going green fast won’t be easy for everyone. We must build a story everyone can relate to.
Thank you for your ideas on how we do this, @SCClemons @lykkefriis @CER_Grant @westgeir.
Insightful discussion with Moldova’s Deputy PM Oleg Serebrian.
Spoke about Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and its impact of bringing Europe even closer together.
Thanked him for outstanding solidarity #Moldova and its people have shown in helping Ukrainian war refugees.
Excellent talk with Singapore’s MoD @Ng_Eng_Hen.
We’re both small countries in demanding locations. Pleased our defence & cyber cooperation is growing.
Agreed that Russia‘s war against Ukraine isn't just a European matter but a global one. Appreciate Singapore’s clear stance.
Good fast-paced discussion with Czech FM @JanLipavsky at #LennartMeriConference.
Spoke about importance of clear support to Ukraine’s EU-path.
As Czech Republic will assume presidency of the Council of the EU in June, wished them every success for #EU2022CZ.
Looking forward to second day at #LennartMeriConference.
We're seeing energy used more and more as a geopolitical weapon. How can we turn more energy independent?
I will moderate a great expert panel on energy, climate and geopolitics at 7pm GMT+3.
Proud of 🇪🇪 education!
