Mihkelson participates in joint visit of Chairs of parliamentary committees from six countries to Germany

Mihkelson said that the purpose of the joint visit was to discuss with German decision-makers the reasons for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and other provocations directed against European countries, and what countries can do together with the European Union and NATO to stop Russia. “Germany is our firm ally and partner, who has strongly supported Ukraine. At the same time, there is a need for constant information exchange and explanations among allies so that we remain united in our positions and decisions and do not lose our main focus: to help Ukraine win the war of aggression initiated by Russia,” he added.

During their visit, the international delegation will meet with the Bundestag’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Committee on European Union Affairs and Defence Committee, as well as with various parliamentary groups. They will also have meetings with Minister of State at the Federal Foreign Office Florian Hahn and representatives of the Ministry of Defence.

The Chairs of parliamentary committees will also participate in a round table discussion organized by the German Council on Foreign Relations and take part in a round table discussion on strengthening NATO’s presence in Lithuania at the Embassy of Lithuania.

The delegation of the Chairs of parliamentary committees includes the Chairs of the Foreign Affairs Committees and the European Union Affairs Committees of the parliaments of Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Finland, and Ukraine, who are members of United4Ukraine, a global parliamentary network created for supporting Ukraine.
