Estonia’s Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has described his visit to Saudi Arabia as “historic,” citing a landmark trade agreement signed with the Kingdom this week and deepening cooperation on digital transformation, green energy, and innovation under Vision 2030, reports Arab News. 

In an interview with Arab News, minister Margus Tsahkna outlined how the new General Trade Agreement marks a turning point in bilateral ties. He also addressed the wider crises shaking the Middle East and Europe — from Israel’s unprecedented airstrike in Qatar to Russia’s escalating war on Ukraine.

“My visit to Saudi Arabia is, I can call it historic because we’re having very good relations bilaterally,” Tsahkna said.

The two countries signed their first comprehensive trade agreement in Riyadh, witnessed by Estonia´s Foreign Minister Tsahkna and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan.

“Saudi Arabia values Estonia as a trusted partner in building future-ready solutions,” Prince Faisal said in a statement following the signing.
