President Ilves on a working visit to Sweden

23.01.2012

The President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, arrived in Stockholm this morning, where he will stay for the next two days, meeting with the King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf; the Speaker of the Riksdag, Per Westerberg; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Bildt; and Minister of Defence, Sten Tolgfors; give a presentation at Foreign Policy Institute in Stockholm; and meet entrepreneurs investing in Estonia and representatives of the banking sector linked to Estonia.

“Sweden is the largest foreign investor and largest export partner for Estonia; our countries are closely linked through defence co-operation and the Baltic Sea Strategy,” told President Ilves. “By our financial and budget policies, both countries are among the most responsible countries of the European Union, and we share a common understanding of modern security threats, such as the inevitability of commitment to cyber security.”

President Ilves will return to Estonia tomorrow evening.
