ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkey’s top diplomat is set to pay an official visit to Estonia on Wednesday, according to the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.

In a written statement, the ministry said Mevlut Cavusoglu will meet with Estonia’s Prime Minister Juri Ratas and his counterpart Urmas Reinsalu as part of his visit.

“During the meetings, all aspects of Turkish-Estonian relations and further cooperation opportunities between the two countries will be discussed,” the statement said.

“Views will also be exchanged on cooperation within NATO and Turkey’s membership process to the EU as well as regional and international issues,” it added.

Turkey says Estonia, during the European Union presidency, "presented a constructive approach and tried to continue the dialogue between Turkey and the EU.”

“The strong support extended by Turkey to Estonia’s NATO membership, and Estonia’s support to Turkey’s EU membership process reflects positively on bilateral relations,” according to the Foreign Ministry.
