The new Finnish Foreign Minister Timo Soini will meet with his Estonian counterpart Keit Pentus-Rosimannus today in Tallinn. The pair will speak about current events in the European Union as well as discuss regional security, migration, the situation in Ukraine and the possibilties of future cyber cooperation.
They will also touch on the Eastern Partnership, a joint initiative between the European Union, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine set up in 2009.
Soini will then meet with the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Hannes Hanso and Defence Committee chairman Marko Mihkelson.
