at Ämari Air Base, Prime Minister Jüri Ratas met for the first time with the members of the French Air Forces who are participating in the NATO air defence mission and greeted the British crew of the multirole Lynx Wildcat AH1 helicopters as well as the aviators of the National Guard of the United States, who will leave Estonia soon.
The Prime Minister said that it is good to meet the members of the French Armed Forces on the day that Estonia joined the European Intervention Initiative, which was proposed by France. “The defence cooperation between France and Estonia is very strong today – bilaterally, multilaterally, as well as on the NATO level. Estonia is grateful to our allies, because their presence guarantees the security for us and the whole Baltic region.
We ensure the country’s independence and sovereignty; we stand for the constitutional order and for improving the people’s standard of living.
The European social organisation is based on a wealthy and large middle class. Its formation is the key political objective of the Centre Party.
Our target is a secure European welfare state. People work ardently and love their country when the country protects them.
