Estonia in France

Estonian Embassy in France 🇲🇫. Ambassador @ViljarLubi

[Estonia in France @EstEmbassyFR]

Aujourd’hui, l’Estonie célèbre son drapeau 🇪🇪. Consacré pour la première fois en 1884, il était à l’origine celui de la Société des étudiants 🇪🇪 avant de devenir le drapeau national. Le tricolore est devenu un symbole fort de l’identité, de l’indépendance et de la résilience 🇪🇪.

Great to be in #Nantes at @carrefourdubois ! 🌲 Estonia and France share a deep commitment to sustainable forestry and timber innovation. Proud to strengthen the ties between our industries — enhancing partnerships from engineered wood to green construction. 🇪🇪🇫🇷

[Viljar Lubi @ViljarLubi]

Tried to do my best to explain the current serious situation we are facing with the ongoing hybrid warfare our adversaries are conducting against us and what Estonia is doing in front of the 🇫🇷defence committee. Very thankful to @AssembleeNat for having me.

Despite Russia’s threats, Estonian diplomats are not leaving Kyiv.

Threatening diplomats, foreigners, and civilians is unacceptable and a blatant violation of the UN Charter. Russia’s attempts at intimidation only expose its true face.

Estonia will not bow to threats. Our embassy remains open, our diplomats stay in Kyiv, and we continue to stand firmly with Ukraine.

We also conveyed this message yesterday to the representative of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn.

Last week, I visited several French regions, Nice and Strasbourg, and Monaco.
A great opportunity to learn how regions differ, set priorities, and build public-private cooperation for pan-European value chains.
Grateful to our HCs in Strasbourg and Monaco, and to my Embassy team.

1st time for me to support the outstanding Estonian delegation at the Cannes Film Festival this year. 🇪🇪🎬

Estonia’s film industry continues to grow with bold ambition, world-class talent, innovation, and international collaboration. Only the sky can be our limit. #Cannes2026

The downing of a drone that entered Estonian airspace proves one thing clearly: @NATO works.

Romanian F-16s responded immediately from Šiauliai, demonstrating that Allies stand united and ready to defend every inch of NATO territory.

Grateful to Romania and all our NATO partners for their swift action and solidarity.

Let’s also be clear: Ukraine has every right to strike Russian military targets to weaken Russia’s ability to wage aggression.

These incidents are the direct result of Russia’s war and provocations. Estonia is strengthening cooperation with Ukraine to enhance our air defence and counter-drone capabilities.

Today marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.

The rainbow flag 🏳️‍🌈 flying on our foreign missions is a reminder that everyone deserves respect, safety and equal opportunities, no matter whom they love or how they define themselves.

Discrimination, bullying and violence have no place in our society.

As a member of the @UN_HRC, Estonia 🇪🇪 stands for equal rights for all, both at home and abroad.

[Estonia in France @EstEmbassyFR]

En cette Journée mondiale contre l’homophobie, la transphobie et la biphobie, l’Ambassade d’Estonie réitère sa condamnation la plus ferme de toute violence et de toute discrimination faites aux personnes LGBTQIA+. Nous avons toutes et tous les mêmes droits. ❤️

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

Today is a momentous day for accountability. 36 countries, including Estonia, and the European Union have formally backed the @coe Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

Our message is clear: Russia’s atrocities will be documented, prosecuted, and judged. No perpetrator will escape justice.

We will not allow the aggressor to rewrite the foundations of the international order. Impunity ends here.

For 65 years, Estonian children have grown up with Sipsik, the curious and mischievous rag doll beloved across generations. 🇪🇪

Now the iconic character is stepping beyond the pages of children’s books and onto a new €2 commemorative coin, meaning this timeless symbol of Estonian childhood will soon find its way into pockets and wallets across the eurozone.

Bonne fête de l’Europe! 🌍

[Estonian MFA 🇪🇪 | 🌻 #StandWithUkraine @MFAestonia]

Happy Europe Day 🇪🇺

Europe is freedom - to move, to learn, to build a future without borders.

Estonia has grown with Europe and helped shape it, from digital innovation to standing firm for Ukraine.

Because Europe stands for something worth protecting: freedom, security, and the right to choose our own future.

In February, French 🇫🇷 Minister Delegate for European Affairs @benjaminhaddad visited Estonia 🇪🇪 to meet with Foreign Minister @Tsahkna and to greet the French soldiers serving in the @NATO battlegroup in Tapa.

The visit also highlighted Estonia’s global leadership in digital governance, with a dedicated stop at e‑Estonia.

Charles Gastaud captured the minister’s 48 hours in Estonia. Check it out:

The Soviet Union was an occupier, not a liberator. This history must be stated clearly.

[Margus Tsahkna @Tsahkna]

Checked out the situation on the @NATO and EU border in Narva, Estonia today. 🇪🇪

Can report back: all calm, secure, well protected, and firmly allied territory.

On the occasion of #WorldPressFreedomDay, the European Human Rights Ambassadors reaffirm that a free and independent media is an essential pillar of democratic societies and a driver of prosperity.

Protecting journalists and safeguarding media freedom are inseparable from ensuring security and stability.
