The Prime Minister’s agenda encompasses delivering public addresses focusing on defense-related matters, meetings with representatives from various public institutions and think tanks, and the inauguration of the newly renovated Estonian Embassy in Washington.

Highlighting the significance of the visit, Prime Minister Kallas emphasized, “The U.S. is a crucial ally and friend, playing a leading role in supporting Ukraine within the free world. Face-to-face communication is essential, and in Washington, I am scheduled for important political meetings, public speeches, and interviews.”
