President of Israel on official visit to Estonia on Wednesday
President Isaac Herzog of Israel is to pay an official visit to Estonia on Wednesday, when he will be received by President Alar Karis at Kadriorg.
The visit is a reciprocal one, after President Karis' official trip to Israel and Palestine earlier this year.
The two heads of state will discuss the international security situation, the Middle East peace process, cooperation in international organizations, ways to enhance bilateral relations and then hold a joint press conference.
This will also visit the Memorial to Victims of Communism in the Maarjamäe district of Tallinn.
Herzog will later meet with Prime Minister Kristen Michal (Reform), and will visit the Tallinn Synagogue and the Estonian Jewish Community Center. An Israeli business delegation will also be present on the trip.
Israeli First Lady Michal Herzog will accompany her husband and will visit the Arvo Pärt Center in Laulasmaa along with Sirje Karis.
Last month, it was announced that Israel would open an embassy in the Estonian capital.
Herzog's visit follows trips to Lithuania and Latvia earlier this week.
