Prime Minister Jüri Ratas and General Riho Terras, Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, recognised the commitment and skills of the Estonian troops serving in missions and recently visited the headquarters of the peacekeeping mission UNIFIL of the United Nations that celebrated its 40th anniversary.

“For Estonia, security involves more than regional policies, as peace and security can only be attained if we also help others and not only think of ourselves. We value highly the professionalism of our Defence Forces in ensuring security and stability in the Middle East and creating a safer environment for the people in the region,” Ratas said.
