NATO Parlimentary Assembly is meeting in Madrid

NordenBladet —

The focus of the Annual Session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Madrid is on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, its economic impact and responsibility for consequences, ensuring European security, developing transatlantic cooperation, cyber security, and other concerns of multilateral cooperation.

“The Estonian delegation’s messages at the NATO PA on supporting Ukraine and strengthening NATO’s eastern flank are straightforward and clear. We have no time for lengthy discussion. We must give our all right here and right now. Together, every one of us. What is on the table today is nothing less than the functioning of the European security structure as a whole and the future of our values,” said the head of the Estonia delegation Mati Raidma.  

The Annual Session of the NATO PA takes place in Madrid on 18–21 November. The Estonian delegation consists of its head Mati Raidma, deputy head Marko Šorin, and member Mihhail Lotman.

Raidma is a member of the Assembly’s Defence and Security Committee, Šorin a member of the Political Committee, and Lotman a member of the Committee on Democracy and Security.

The Estonian delegation is planning a meeting with Georgia’s delegation to the NATO PA, as well as a meeting in the framework of the Nordic and Baltic cooperation, or NB8.
