The Hon. Riina Sikkut Minister Ministry of Health Republic of Estonia

Dear Riina,

On behalf of the people and Government of the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan), 1 extend

my heartfelt congratulations to you and through you to the Estonian Government and people

on this auspicious occasion of the Estonian Independence Day - a pivotal moment that reflects

the country’s collective courage and determination, and the enduring spirit that shaped the destiny of the Estonian people.

The close ties between Taiwan and Estonia are rooted in our proud history and similarjourney

ofpursuing independence and national sovereignty. In September 1921, the ROC, as a founding member together with the other thirty-five nations voted in favor of Estonia’s accession to the

League of Nations. The relations were further strengthened by the signing of the Treaty of

Amity in London in 1937.

Despite vast geographical distance, Taiwan is fully committed to deepening bilateral relations

with Estonia to advance our shared interests through concerted efforts, including the establishment ofa Taiwan representative office in Tallinn. 1 believe that historical ties and close cooperation between our two countries will be further enhanced with freedom and democracy

as core values and underlying pillars for the success and prosperity of both nations.

Once again, please accept the assurances of my highest consideration and best wishes for

continuous success.
