Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

On behalf of the United States, I extend my warmest congratulations to the people of Estonia as they celebrate their National Day.

Estonia’s unwavering commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law continues to inspire us all. As we mark this significant occasion, we commend Estonia for its leadership in fostering innovation, economic prosperity, and security on the regional and global stage. The enduring friendship between the United States and Estonia is rooted in shared values and a commitment to freedom and democracy. The United States is proud to work hand-in-hand with Estonia to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, counter Russia’s aggression, and steadfastly support Ukraine.

On this special day, we celebrate Estonia’s rich history, vibrant culture, and the resilience of its people. I look forward to many decades of continued partnership and friendship as Allies that will benefit our citizens and deepen our bilateral relationship. May the coming years bring continued prosperity, peace, and success to Estonia and its citizens.

Congratulations on this happy occasion.
