At this most critical time for international solidarity and refugee protection worldwide, Estonia remains a vital partner of UNHCR in providing international protection and finding durable solutions for refugees, internally displaced and stateless persons at the national, regional and international level. I very much appreciate the close cooperation that exists between your Ministry and UNHCR regarding the many different aspects linked to the support and integration of refugees in Estonia. I wish to assure you that together with my colleagues at the UNHCR Representation for the Nordic and Baltic Countries we are fully at your disposal for deepening our exchanges on the complex issue linked to integration matters. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has constrained international travel, I am regrettably not likely to be able to visit Estonia in the immediate future, but I am at your disposal for arranging an introductory meeting by videoconference at a time of your convenience. Yours sincerely, Henrik M. Nordentoft Representative Ms. Anneli OTT Minister Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Estonia Estonia
