Minister of Foreign Affairs Eva-Maria Liimets (Center) said: “It is especially important for us that Estonians living abroad also participate in the virtual forum and share their thoughts and experiences. I am convinced that trust-based co-operation with global Estonians will contribute to the achievement of the future goals and international success of Estonia.”
Hille Hanso, a political scientist and journalist living in Turkey, and Ellen Valter, a lawyer living in Canada, will also speak at the forum, talking about how global Estonians could participate in Estonia’s development.
The ministry will present its current activities and plans concerning the global Estonian community at the virtual forum and will reveal in more detail the results of the survey conducted last year among Estonians living abroad.
The forum will also discuss how the new focus topics of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, business and cyber diplomacy, help to shape Estonia’s reputation in the world. Consular services and news for Estonians living abroad will also be introduced.
The virtual forum will take place on Tuesday, 13 April from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Worksup: https://worksup.com/app#id=DIASPORAA2021
The broadcast will also be available to watch later.
