Dear Indrek,
Thank you for the email and response.
I have actually reached out to Ms. Kristi Klaas, requesting for a visit as
well.
But I am still waiting for her response.
I understand there has been some restructuring in Estonia’s government, but
if possible we would still like to visit your ministry and learn about your
digital transformation, particularly your efforts and accomplishment.
I believe your experience can greatly benefit our officials to help promote
Taiwan’s digital transformation.
We hope to have the honor of visiting your ministry.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Justin

Dear Mr Wang
We are delighted to hear about your interest towards the Republic of Estonia
and the efforts we are putting towards the green transition in combination
with digital transition as well as the Green Digital Analysis you have come
across in your research. However, it is relevant to mention that since past
summer there has been significant restructuring in the public sector and
government in Estonia as well as the domains various ministries are
responsible for and it might be best to discuss the suggested topics with
the Ministry of Climate. Perhaps with Ms Kristi Klaas, the Deputy Secretary
General for Green Transition at the Ministry of Climate. The Ministry of
Economic Affairs and Communications is responsible for the overarching
digital policies in Estonia, however given the nature of your specific
request, it appears that those topics are attended at the Ministry of
Climate.
Kind regards
Indrek

Subject: Visit request from Taiwan delegation (Estonia Ministry of Economic
Affairs and Communications)
Dear Ms. Hunt,
My name is Justin Wang with the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research
in Taiwan.
My institution is currently assisting the Taiwan government in organizing a
visit to Tallinn, Estonia.
The purpose of the visit is to learn about Estonia’s approach and
implementation on green transition, and apply learned knowledge into
formulating Taiwan’s policy and framework.
In recent years, Estonia has become the leading country in digital
transition, and a model example for Taiwan as well.
But we are also very keen to learn about how Estonia deal with green
transition in combination with the digital transition.
I believe there is a term coined “twin transition” to specifically address
this topic.
During my research, I came across the ministry’s program of Green Digital
Analysis where you conducted a research on how to reduce environmental
footprint of ICT in public sector.
This is a very interesting topic and I think the ministry’s effort and
accomplishment can be of great benefit to Taiwan.
Would it be possible for the delegation to visit the Ministry of Economic
Affairs and Communications and learn about the Ministry’s policy and
approach towards “twin transition?”
The delegation will consist of about 45 high-level senior officials from
various central and local government agencies in Taiwan.
We are planning to visit Estonia in the first week of September, from
9/2-9/3.
It would be an honor for the delegation to visit your esteemed ministry.
Please kindly let me know if a visit is possible, and we can discuss the
date more in detail.
Thank you, and I look forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Justin Wang
