Our mission is to: (I) foster a broader understanding of the Alliance; (II)consolidate the collaboration of the government and the third sector; (III) promote international peace and stability and share Estonia’s experience of Euro-Atlantic integration with NATO partner countries; (IV) support cross-ethnic integration and understanding in Estonian society.
