Shocked by the dreadful shooting in Örebro. My heartfelt sympathies go to the victims’ families, their close ones & the people of Sweden. Violence is never acceptable in any form. Estonia stands with Sweden in this time of grief.

Five years ago, I held the original #TartuPeaceTreaty - a great achievement for #Estonia. Today, on its 105th anniversary, I spoke on why it still matters. Peace isn’t automatic; it takes resolve, wise choices & respect for agreements. Its lessons are vital for the world today.

Europe needs bold, startup-style ideas to boost competitiveness & economic growth. Less bureaucracy, better access to capital & stronger ties btw research & business-these are key. At sTARTUp Day, I called on entrepreneurs to drive solutions for a future where innovation thrives.

Auschwitz is a symbol of the horrors of WWII that must never be repeated. We remember the millions who suffered & perished in Nazi camps. Today, in Oświęcim, #Poland, I attended the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation & the #Holocaust remembrance ceremony.

Mental well-being must be at the heart of all policymaking. Prevention, supportive environments & evidence-based solutions are vital for societal resilience. Ignoring mental health challenges is not an option, emphasized at the #WHO Europe’s hearing on mental health.

Creative & dedicated use of digital technologies can make us more resilient, transparent & trusted. We must ask what technologies & digital skills schools need to drive future innovation. AI offers exciting opportunities to shape a smarter, more sustainable future.
