In a speech generally devoted to foreign and security policy and digital development, this gave him the opportunity to mention one of Estonia's strengths and a subject close to his heart, the e-health projects.

This past Friday the World Bank hosted an all-day conference titled "Estonia ICT Day: Smart Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development" at its headquarters here in Washington, DC that I was honored to attend in person. With presentations by Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Director General of the Information System Authority of Estonia Taimar Peterkop, and many other luminaries, the day focused on how Estonia has become the global model for e-government with almost every task from voting to filing taxes to purchasing a fishing license accomplishable entirely online. In fact, today one need appear in person at a government office only to finalize marriage or divorce and to purchase property – every other transaction between a citizen and the state is completed entirely online and can be done via smartphone from anywhere in the nation or even abroad.
