Karis will give a speech at the assembly on Wednesday evening which will focus on confronting Russia's war of aggression and supporting Ukraine. He will also participate in several high-level meetings, meet the Baltic and Polish presidents and attend a reception hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Estonia's head of state will also visit the Estonian House in New York.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Reinsalu (Isamaa) is already at the assembly and has co-hosted a side event with Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.
Today, at the @EstoniaUN mission, we organised a #UNGA side event to discus about the crisis in #Belarus & to provide a platform for @Tsihanouskaya to share the views of the civic society of her country.
