The President

Brussels, 13 November 2025 (CAB.PRES) (2025) D/3059 Mr Erkki Keldo

Minister of Economy and Industry Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications Suur-Ameerika 1, 10122 Tallinn, Estonia By email only: [email protected] [email protected]

Dear Minister Keldo,

Thank you very much for the productive meeting we held during my visit to Estonia on 27 October.

I came back from the visit impressed by the resilience of your country and fully energised by its vibrant civil

society. The courage, unity and civic engagement that you have demonstrated are an inspiration to all

Europeans and mirror the values that the EESC represents - democracy, participation and social cohesion in

the face of adversity.

Staying true to the motto of my Presidency programme, I will endeavour to put civil society at the heart of

Estonia and Europe.

I remain at your disposal and look forward to our continued cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Séamus BOLAND
