Estonian Diplomatic Missions




Estonia (re-)established a foreign ministry on 12 April 1990 while the country was slowly becoming independent from the Soviet Union , with the symbols and instruments of Soverignty were progressively being reintroduced. The events in August later that year when a failed coup in Moscow accelerated the process for independence. The staff of the ministry worked a seven-day work week with threadbare facilities and supplies until January 1992 , after they had secured Estonia's international recognition, and opened missions in New York , Helsinki , Stockholm , Copenhagen , Bonn , Paris and Moscow {Link without Title} .

As the current Estonian government considers Estonia 's incorporation into the Soviet Union as being illegal, it assumes that the foreign ministry has been in continual operation since 1918 .
