Given Estonia’s history and its geographical location, it is not surprising that it is an obvious trade and cultural partner for the Nordic countries. In 1992, shortly after Estonia gained independence from the Soviet Union, it received observer status at the Nordic Council along with Latvia and Lithuania. Nordic connections since then have included Estonian ex-President’s Toomas Henrik Ilves’ efforts for nordification and the FinEst Link.
