All members of the Riigikogu belong to the Estonian Interparliamentary Union Group. The members of the Riigikogu elect the Board of the Group from among themselves. The Board is formed of the President and three Vice-Presidents, who received the greatest number of votes from the plenary.
The main aims of the activities of the IPU are to promote cooperation between parliaments and members of parliament, to participate in the processes of ensuring global peace and security, to protect human rights and to develop representative democracy. Estonia was a member of the Union between 1921–1940, and restored its membership after regaining its independence in 1991.
The mission of the Estonian delegation is to develop inter-parliamentary relations, and to introduce Estonia and the positions of our country on topical issues in international forums.
