Hussar: Germany has become an ever more important partner to Estonia

Hussar believes that Estonia and Germany have good relations and long-time fruitful cooperation. “I see an opportunity to develop the cooperation between our parliaments even further, because particularly in recent years the importance of interparliamentary diplomacy has significantly increased. Due to the war in Ukraine, it is ever more important to keep contacts, shape positions and coordinate opinions in order to send a clear signal that Russia’s aggression must be condemned in every way and Ukraine must be supported in every way, and that a stronger and more secure Europe must be built,” he said at the meeting with the Speaker of the Bundestag.

Hussar stated that the defence cooperation in the European Union and NATO was excellent and the will to defend was great, and that Estonia was constantly working on increasing its defence capability. He thanked Germany for its contribution to the security of our region, including to the Baltic air policing mission. “Our cooperation in donating field hospitals to Ukraine is also very important,” he added.

According to Hussar, besides defence cooperation, economic cooperation has also improved year by year and Germany has become an increasingly important partner for Estonia. “Our cooperation in developing IT solutions, including e-health solutions, has become much closer. The use of modern technology in the health sector and digital e-health solutions could become a model for the rest of Europe,” Hussar said.

Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu Marko Mihkelson and Chairman of the Estonia-Germany Parliamentary Friendship Group Andres Sutt also participated in the meeting of Hussar and Bas.
