REPUBLIC OF ESTONIA
Dear Minister
Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for Economic Affairs and Information
Technology.
Australia and Estonia share strong bilateral links based on common values and growing
economic ties. At this time of heightened geo-strategic uncertainty, our countries remain
committed to upholding democratic values as well as safeguarding the international
rules-based order. Our countries enjoy a healthy economic relationship, with two-way trade
valued at $236 million in (2021-22). Australia looks forward to increasing trade and
investment with Estonia, including through the finalisation of a bilateral tax treaty.
I appreciate your government's support to conclude negotiations on a comprehensive and
ambitious Australia-EU Trade Agreement. The agreement will strengthen our economic and
trade links, as well as drive new opportunities for businesses in both countries. It will
support action on climate change and incorporate high standards on environment and
labour rights. It is essential for Australia that the final deal generates new,
commercially-meaningful market access opportunities across all sectors, including
agriculture.
I note Estonia's unique history of digitisation and welcome enhanced cooperation on
strengthening cyber security and digital innovation strategies.
I wish you every success in your new role and look forward to working with you.
