On behalf of the government and people of the United States, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Estonia as you celebrate the 107th anniversary of your independence. This historic milestone is a testament to Estonia’s enduring resilience, unwavering commitment to democracy, and dedication to regional and global security.
Estonia’s role as a steadfast ally within NATO remains critical in strengthening collective defense and countering emerging threats. Through our strategic partnership, the United States and Estonia continue to enhance regional security, deter destabilizing tactics, and reinforce democratic values. Estonia’s recent desynchronization from the Russian and Belarusian power grid and successful integration into the European energy market mark a significant achievement in strengthening energy independence and reducing external influence.
We recognize and commend Estonia’s increased contributions to NATO burden-sharing and its continued support as a host nation for rotational U.S. forces. Your commitment to collective security, economic prosperity, and digital innovation sets a strong example for allies and partners worldwide.
As Estonia commemorates this special occasion, the United States reaffirms its unwavering support for Estonia’s sovereignty, security, and democratic values. We extend our best wishes for a joyous and prosperous Independence Day celebration.
