On June 9, 2026, Latvian Prime Minister Evika Siliņa arrived in Tallinn for an official visit aimed at addressing regional security concerns and strengthening bilateral ties. The visit comes amid heightened anxiety in Estonia over geopolitical tensions in the Baltic region.
During her meetings with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Siliņa emphasized Latvia's commitment to collective defense and cooperation within NATO and the European Union. She stated, 'We stand together in facing any challenges to our security and prosperity.'
The two leaders discussed joint infrastructure projects, energy security, and support for Ukraine. Siliņa also mentioned a potential new initiative for regional cooperation, promising to share details with Kallas if it proves viable in the coming weeks.
This visit underscores the close partnership between Latvia and Estonia, both of which share concerns about Russian aggression and have increased defense spending in recent years.
