KIEV, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid signed a joint statement on further cooperation following a meeting in Tallinn, the Ukrainian president's official website reported on Tuesday.
In the joint statement, the two leaders highlighted the extensive bilateral relations and pointed out potential for further cooperation.
"The Presidents agreed to streamline bilateral cooperation at the international arena, particularly during Estonia's non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council in 2020-2021, in order to promote multilateralism, respect for international law, democracy, human rights and the rule of law," read the statement published on the website.
Both leaders agreed that comprehensive reforms in Ukraine will improve the living standards of the people and business environment, and ensure sustainable economic growth. Ukraine will thus make a significant contribution to European security and welfare.
Kaljulaid reaffirmed Estonia's commitment to continuous support of Ukraine's reforms and stated that her country will provide relevant assistance in the spheres of e-governance and digitalization of the public sector.
Zelensky expressed gratitude to Estonia for consistent support of Ukraine's efforts in reforming its security and defense sector according to NATO standards, military training and cooperation on cybersecurity.
Zelensky arrived Tuesday in Tallinn on an official visit, during which he plans to hold a meeting with the country's prime minister and parliament speaker.
