Last week we were happy to host the Estonian Honorary Consuls’ Regional Seminar in The Hague. We met with the Honorary Consuls of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg.
During the seminar ms Kerli Veski, Undersecretary for Legal and Consular Affairs of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) talked about Estonian foreign policy and current affairs. Quite some time was devoted to business diplomacy: mr Priit Kallakas, Director General of the Business Diplomacy Department of the MoFA gave an overview of the Estonian economy and business diplomacy goals in general; ms Dana Noormets (EIS) informed the participants about corporate tourism plans and mr Pieter Poppelsdorf (EIS) talked about Benelux investments to Estonian companies. Various ideas were discussed for 2025, focusing on how our Honorary Consuls could be involved in creating business opportunities for Estonian companies and cultural encounters for our cultural sector.
