Over the past year, Estonia has moved even closer to Poland. This statement was made by Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas ahead of her visit to Warsaw, as reported by the BNS bureau on Tuesday. The sense of friendship between Tallinn and Warsaw runs deep, underscoring a shared commitment to security, regional stability, and a collaborative approach within two close European partners.
Poland is “a good friend of Estonia…”
During recent remarks, Kallas highlighted Estonia’s leadership on key security measures. She pointed to the coordinated stance on sanctions against Russia, calls to limit the price of Russian oil, and a substantial increase in military aid to Ukraine. These steps reflect a dense network of cooperation and mutual support that has become a hallmark of the Baltic-Northeastern European partnership in the face of ongoing security challenges.
The prime minister emphasized that Poland stands as “a good friend of Estonia, a reliable ally in NATO and a trusted partner in the European Union.” This framing reinforces the sense of shared purpose and converging interests between the two allies, particularly in areas of defense, energy policy, and regional governance.
Kallas visited Ukraine on Monday, marking her first international trip since Estonia formed a new government last week. In her second foreign engagement, she planned a stop in Warsaw to meet Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The leaders were set to participate in a discussion hosted at the College of Europe campus in Natolin, further signaling a commitment to broader European dialogue on security and cooperation.
The upcoming meeting between the prime ministers of Poland and Estonia was anticipated to address several critical topics. These include regional security concerns, preparations for the NATO summit scheduled for July in Vilnius, and a deepening of bilateral cooperation, including in the defense sector. The conversations were expected to reassess alliance coordination and explore practical arrangements that reinforce deterrence and resilience in the region.
