President of the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) Jüri Ratas is travelling to Japan today to attend the state funeral ceremony for former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe.

According to Ratas, former Prime Minister Abe made a strong contribution to the development of relations between Estonia and Japan. In 2018, he became the first Japanese head of government to visit Estonia. “Japan is one of Estonia’s most important partners in the Asia-Pacific region, with whom we share the same values. It is important for us to strengthen our good relations with Japan and to deepen our cooperation, especially in the digital and cyber sectors,” Ratas said.

During the visit, Ratas will meet with Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida and Speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan Hiroyuki Hosoda. He will also have meetings with his Romanian, Czech and Slovenian counterparts. On Monday evening, Ratas will meet with the members of the Estonian community at the Embassy of Estonia.

On Tuesday, the President of the Riigikogu will attend the state funeral ceremony for former Prime Minister Abe at the Nippon Budokan Arena. Ratas will return to Estonia on Wednesday.
