13th IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of Parliaments
“Including Space Solutions in the Political Agenda – A Must for Policy Makers”
Object: Letter of Invitation to attend the IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of
Parliaments in Baku (Sunday 1st October 2023) and the MMoP Virtual Preparatory Meeting
(Friday 9 June 2023)
Dear Hon. Kallas,
Space applications and technologies have acquired a fundamental role in our society. This is mainly
reflected in the steadily increasing budgets that governments and private companies are allocating to
the development of the space sector.
To support Ministers and Members of Parliaments in deepening their understanding, or discovering, of
the benefits that space application can bring to their societies, and to exchange experiences with their
peers, the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) is organizing the 13th IAF International Meeting
for Ministers and Members of Parliaments, to be held on Sunday 1st October 2023 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The IAF MMoP Meeting is the only event where Ministers and Members of Parliaments from all over
the world are invited to share their countries’ space actions and plans. On one side Ministers are invited
to share information about their national space policies, on the other side Members of Parliaments are
encouraged to exchange their views on relevant space solutions for their countries. We encourage
particularly policy makers from countries not yet connected to space to listen to their colleagues
explaining the benefits they have gained from space solutions.
The meeting is organised by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), a global non-
governmental organization whose main goal is to disseminate knowledge about space technology and
to foster international cooperation. For over a decade, it has accompanied the IAF’s largest event, the
International Astronautical Congress (IAC), in twelve different countries.
As Minister responsible for space policies in your country we are pleased to invite you to participate in
the 13th IAF International Meeting for Ministers and Members of Parliaments and would be delighted
if you could join us in Baku to present your country’s space strategies, or appoint your Vice-minister to
represent Estonia at the meeting.
At the event, you will not only have the opportunity to present your national expertise, but you will also
be invited to a formal dinner on Sunday evening, to further network in a more relaxed environment,
and to attend the IAC 2023 Opening Day as guests of Honours, on Monday 2 October 2023.

held virtually on Friday 9 June 2023 at 14:00 CEST (12:00 UTC).
We would be grateful if you could let us know at your earliest convenience if you intend to join us for
the event in Baku and if you plan to attend the virtual event or designate a representative.
