🇳🇴 Ambassador Dirdal: Great meeting yesterday with Yoko Alender, Estonia’s Minister of Climate (and energy) since July. There are so many points of contact and cooperation between 🇳🇴 Norway and 🇪🇪 Estonia. The cooperation supports energy security as well as transition to renewables and clean energy, including offshore wind and CCS. Estonia (and the EU) can count on Norway. Thank you for the good exchange, Minister, we look forward to continuing and enhancing our cooperation!

September on teadmiste ja tarkuse kuu. 🤓 Kuid teadmised ei ole ainult hetkeks omandada, neid tuleb pidevalt täiendada ja rakendada. Just seda on soodustanud 🇪🇪🇳🇴 Eesti-Norra koostööprogramm “Green ICT”, toetades jätkusuutlikku kasvu läbi innovatsiooni ja koostööd toetavate projektide.
💡 Innovaatiliste lahenduste loomine ja pakkumine nõuab nii head koostööd kui ressursse, kuid eelkõige on vaja teadmisi ja põhjalikult läbimõeldud elluviimist. “Green ICT” programm on saavutanud häid tulemusi, mis aitavad kaasa rohelisema ja jätkusuutlikuma tuleviku loomisele.
🎯 Viimased aastad on näidanud, et turvalisust ei saa võtta iseenesestmõistetavana. Kaitseministeeriumi allasutus CR14 on välja töötanud avatud küberkaitseväljaku (Open Cyber Range, OCR), mis annab võimaluse harjutada ja olla valmis küberrünnakute puhul. See on suurepärane näide sellest, kuidas teadmised ja innovatsioon saavad koos töötada, et tagada meie ühiskonna turvalisus ja jätkusuutlikkus.

EstLink 2 remonditööd on olnud edukad ning tööd lõppevad täna, 3. septembril, Eesti ja Soome vaheline elektriühendus on kavas töösse viia kolmapäeval, 4. septembril. Meil on heameel tõdeda, et remonditööde eduka teostamise juures mängisid võtmerolli ka 🇳🇴Norra alltöövõtjad.

This week the embassy went to Saaremaa to learn more about Estonia’s plans to develop offshore wind farms off the coast of Saaremaa (Visit Saaremaa).

A special thanks to the mayor Kuressaare city and Saaremaa municipality Saaremaa vald Mikk Tuisk for hosting us. Tuisk briefed us on the opportunities and challenges in regard to building wind farms around Saaremaa. Both Estonia 🇪🇪 and Norway 🇧🇻 are investing in offshore wind and is a potential area of cooperation between our two countries 🇧🇻🤝🇪🇪.

We also want to thank the Kuressaare vocational school/ Kuressaare Ametikool. The school staff held a presentation on how Estonia educates future specialists and showed us around the school complex.
We hope to visit Saaremaa again!

Today, we commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Baltic Way that paved the way for the restoration of Baltic independence. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹

In 1989, two million Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians gathered to create the longest human chain in history in a peaceful demonstration against the Soviet occupation of the three Baltic states. It reached all the way from Tallinn to Vilnius through Riga, showcasing solidarity between the three countries. 🤝

It happened on this day because the day also commemorated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Nazi-Germany and the Soviet Union, which led to the invasion and occupation of the Baltics.

Norway will never forget the crimes committed by the Soviet Union against the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian peoples.

Neljapäeval, 22. augustil andis Eesti suursaadik Norras Piia Mathisen üle oma volikirja Norra kuningale.
Volikirja üleandmise tseremoonial rääkisid Tema Majesteet Harald V ja suursaadik Mathisen Eesti ja Norra kahepoolsetest suhetest, Ukraina toetamisest ning regionaalse ja rahvusvahelise koostöö tugevdamisest.
Mathisen rõhutas vestluses kuningaga Ukraina jätkuva toetamise olulisust ning vajadust investeerida Euroopa kaitsesse. „Norra on meie kindel liitlane NATOs ja meie riigid jagavad sarnaseid julgeolekupoliitilisi hoiakuid,“ ütles Mathisen.
Eesti ja Norra kahepoolsed suhted on suurepärased. Käesolev aasta on süvendanud kultuurisidemeid, eelkõige tänu Tartu ja Bodø aktiivsele koostööle Euroopa kultuuripealinnadena. Kuningas meenutas soojalt oma riigivisiiti Eestisse. Suursaadik kinnitas, et Norra kuningakoja liikmed on väga oodatud taas Eestit külastama.
