‘Saudi Arabia and Estonia enjoy values-based cooperation,’ FM Margus Tsahkna tells Arab News
RIYADH: Estonia’s Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has described his visit to Saudi Arabia as “historic,” citing a landmark trade agreement signed with the Kingdom this week and deepening cooperation on digital transformation, green energy, and innovation under Vision 2030.
In an interview with Arab News, Tsahkna outlined how the new General Trade Agreement marks a turning point in bilateral ties. He also addressed the wider crises shaking the Middle East and Europe — from Israel’s unprecedented airstrike in Qatar to Russia’s escalating war on Ukraine.
“My visit to Saudi Arabia is, I can call it historic because we’re having very good relations bilaterally,” Tsahkna said.
“We have had very high level meetings here. And also his highness, the prime minister visited Estonia. We have very good personal relations. But this time I came together with a business delegation, and these companies are mainly already in Saudi Arabia, in the region.”
