Tsahkna: Estonia's foreign policy is not for academic expressions
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna emphasizes that Estonia's foreign policy should not be viewed as a platform for academic debate.
In a recent statement, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna commented on President Alar Karis's remarks about foreign policy, asserting that it should not be considered an opportunity for academic expressions. Tsahkna indicated that foreign policy decisions are taken seriously and should be guided by clear and definitive lines rather than by speculative or theoretical discussions. He supports a foreign policy approach that is practical and rooted in the realities faced by the nation.
Tsahkna also mentioned that, if necessary, Estonia might accept the deployment of allied nuclear weapons on its territory. This statement highlights the seriousness with which Estonia approaches its security and defense posture in the current geopolitical climate. His comments come as Estonia navigates issues regarding its foreign relations and military alliances, particularly in light of ongoing tensions in the region and broader security concerns in Europe.
Furthermore, Tsahkna revealed that he has yet to meet with President Karis due to both of their schedules being packed with foreign visits, suggesting a busy agenda for both leaders. The Minister assured that differing views on Estonia's foreign policy do not stem from a lack of communication but rather from an effort to establish a coherent and united stance that reflects the opinions and needs of the Estonian people as a whole, emphasizing decisive action in foreign policy matters.
