Canadian–Estonian relations are foreign relations between Canada andEstonia. Canada recognised Estonia in 1922 and re-recognised Estonia on August 26, 1991. Canada is represented in Estonia through its embassy inRiga (Latvia) and an honorary consulate inTallinn.[1] Estonia has an embassy inOttawa and 4 honorary consulates (inMontreal, Vancouver, and 2 inToronto).[2] There are around 22,000 Canadians ofEstonian descent.[3] The two countries are part of theNATO military alliance.
Although Canada recognised that Estonia hadde facto become part of theSoviet Union, it did not recognise the legality of theannexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union (de jure).[4][5] On August 26, 1991, in the wake of thedissolution of the Soviet Union, Canada recognized the independence of Estonia.[6]
In 2018 Canadian prime ministerJustin Trudeau welcomed Estonian prime ministerJüri Ratas in Ottawa, where the two agreed to "broaden cooperation" on "digital government and the digital economy; defence and security; and trade".[7] During the2023 Vilnius summit, Trudeau and Estonian prime ministerKaja Kallas held a bilateral meeting in which Kallas thanked Trudeau for doubling its military presence in Latvia, which would "help strengthen the security of the entire Baltic Sea region".[8] Kallas also noted that a Canadian company was building a magnet factory inNarva, which would bring additional jobs to the city.[9] In October 2023, the Canadian and Estonian ministers of foreign affairs met in Ottawa, where they discussed how to manage Russian assets frozen in the aftermath of theRussian invasion of Ukraine, as well as potential cooperation in the fields ofcybersecurity and counteringdisinformation.[10][11]
