In their conversation following the presentation ceremony, the ambassador and the president concentrated on bilateral relations, as well as on the security situation in the neighborhood and the need for closer cooperation with like-minded countries.

"The successful cooperation of Estonia and Turkey that spans more than a hundred years has gone through different periods, and I believe this is why we understand each other quite well," Reinart said. "This sense of understanding has made us allies and helped us during difficult times. We have always had a sense of mutual support with Turkey and I am sure Turkey has also felt this."
