Readout of the Prime Minister's meeting with Prime Minister of
Estonia, Kristen Michal, ahead of the Joint Expeditionary Force
summit in Tallin this morning.
A Downing Street spokesperson said:
“The Prime Minister met Prime Minster Kristen Michal ahead of the
Joint Expeditionary Force summit in Tallin this morning.
“The Prime Minister began by thanking Prime Minister Michal for
hosting such a successful and important summit at a crucial time
for European security.
“The leaders reflected on the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF)
dinner last night and the group's strong support for Ukraine,
which was underscored by action, rather than warm words. They
discussed the importance of increasing pressure on Putin through
further military and economic support for Ukraine, and the
strategic use of sanctions.
“Estonia and the UK were vital defence and security partners, and
that cooperation continued to go from strength-to-strength, the
leaders agreed.
“It was further exemplified by the opening of a new London
headquarters for Estonian defence firm Frankenburg Technologies
today, the Prime Ministers noted.
“Updating on his EU reset, the Prime Minister said that he
believed a closer relationship between the UK and EU countries
would bring benefits for both British and EU citizens across a
wide range of areas, including in growth and security.
“Turning to the clean energy agenda, the Prime Minister updated
on his successful visit to Norway yesterday, and his mission to
deliver clean power by 2030 and accelerate to net zero. The
leaders agreed on the need to go further and faster to support
energy security and lower costs for bill payers.
“They looked forward to speaking again at the JEF summit.”
