According to him, “in addition to civil society development programmes, plans to advance USA-Belarus cultural and educational relations could also suffer, which would further worsen the situation for people there.”
Tema sõnul “võivad lisaks tsiviilühiskonna arenguprogrammidele soiku jääda ka USA-Valgevene kultuuri- ja haridussuhete edendamise kavad, see aga halvendab sealsete inimeste olukorda veelgi”.
The foreign minister expressed solidarity with the USA and its diplomats, emphasising that Belarus itself will be responsible for the consequences of its decision.
Välisminister avaldas solidaarsust USAle ja tema diplomaatidele, rõhutades, et Valgevene vastutab ise sellise otsuse tagajärgede eest.

At his meetings with Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Rangeen Dadfar Spanta and Parliament Speaker Mohammed Yunus Qanon on 12 March in Kabul, Foreign Minister Urmas Paet confirmed that Estonia plans to continue contributing to rebuilding and guaranteeing security in Afghanistan.
Välisminister Urmas Paet kinnitas kohtumisel oma Afganistani kolleegi Rangeen Dadfar Spanta ja parlamendi esimehe Mohammad Yunus Qanoniga 12. märtsil Kabulis, et Eestil on plaanis jätkuvalt panustada Afganistani ülesehitusse ning julgeoleku tagamisse.
Foreign Minister Paet also discussed bilateral relations, the upcoming elections in Afghanistan, and the economic and security situation in the country with Afghan Foreign Minister Spanta.
Afganistani välisministri Spantaga olid kõne all ka kahepoolsed suhted, eelseisvad valimised Afganistanis, majandus- ning julgeolekuolukord riigis.
The international community feels a long-term interest and responsibility to help Afghanistan, but Foreign Minister Paet stated that even more attention must be turned to the battle against the spread of narcotics and corruption prior to the upcoming presidential elections.
Kuigi rahvusvahelisel kogukonnal on pikaajaline huvi ja kohustus Afganistani aidata, tuleb välisminister Urmas Paeti sõnul tähelepanu võitlusele narkootikumide leviku ja korruptsiooni vastu veel enne eelseisvaid presidendivalimisi suurendada.
Paet said that the first positive results have been seen in the fight against narcotics in Afghanistan and that this year narcotics production will be reduced by as much a quarter compared to previous production, but this is just the beginning of a complicated process.
Paeti sõnul on narkootikumidevastases võitluses Afganistanis näha esimesi edusamme ning sel aastal võib narkotoodang väheneda võrreldes varasemaga veerandi võrra, kuid see on alles keerulise protsessi algus.
“The cultivation of narcotics is clearly tied to the security situation, and intensified anti-narcotics activities will place a greater strain on stabilising the security circumstances,” he added.
„Narkokasvatusel on selge seos julgeolekuolukorraga ning intensiivistunud narkovastane tegevus paneb suurema pinge ka julgeolekuolukorra stabiliseerimisele,“ lisas ta.
While talking about Estonia-Afghanistan co-operation, Paet said that Afghanistan is Estonia’s priority development co-operation partner.
Rääkides Eesti ja Afganistani koostööst ütles Paet, et Afganistan on Eestile arengukoostöö prioriteetne partner.
“In its Afghanistan develop co-operation activities, Estonia also takes into consideration the priorities of the Afghan government and focuses first and foremost on health care, improving the situation of women and children, and promoting good administrative practices,” stated Paet.
„Eesti lähtub Afganistani-suunalises arengukoostöös ka Afganistani valitsuse eelistustest ning keskendub eelkõige tervishoiule, naiste ja laste olukorra parandamisele ning heade valitsemistavade edendamisele,“ lausus Paet.
Paet and Spanta discussed possibilities for developing political and economic contacts between Estonia and Afghanistan.
Paet ja Spanta arutasid võimalusi Eesti ja Afganistani vaheliste poliitiliste ning majanduslike kontaktide arenguks.
“A representation of Afghanistan in Northern Europe would certainly add momentum to relations,” said the foreign minister.
„Kindlasti annaks suhetele hoogu juurde Afganistani esindatus Põhja-Euroopas,” ütles välisminister.
Paet issued an invitation for Spanta to visit Estonia.
Paet esitas Spantale küllakutse Eestisse.
The Estonian foreign minister also made a proposal to his Afghan colleague that young diplomats of the Afghan Foreign Ministry attend training at the Estonian School of Diplomacy next year.
Eesti välisminister tegi oma Afganistani kolleegile ettepaneku Afganistani välisministeeriumi noorte diplomaatide koolituseks järgmisel aastal Eesti Diplomaatide koolis.
At his meeting with Parliament Speaker Mohammed Yunus Qanon, the topic of discussion was the upcoming elections.
Kohtumisel Afganistani parlamendi spiikri Mohammad Yunus Qanoniga olid jutuks eelseisvad valimised.
Paet stated that the next year will be very intense for domestic politics in Afghanistan, since presidential elections are taking place in August and parliamentary elections next year.
Paeti sõnul tuleb lähem aasta Afganistani sisepoliitikas väga pingeline, sest augustis toimuvad presidendi- ja järgmisel aastal parlamendivalimised.
“It is essential that the elections be honest.
„Oluline on, et valimised oleksid ausad.
This will create a basis for broad agreements to be made in Afghanistan that will help to restore peace,” he added.
See loob aluse ka laiemateks kokkulepeteks Afganistanis, mis aitavad rahu taastada,“ lisas ta.
The problematic economic situation also continues to affect the complicated domestic political situation in Afghanistan.
Mõju keerulisele Afganistani sisepoliitilisele olukorrale avaldab ka jätkuvalt keeruline majandusolukord.
Paet stated that a majority of Afghanistan’s economic growth comes from foreign support.
Paeti sõnul tuleb suurem osa Afganistani majanduskasvust välisriikide toetusest.
“Afghanistan’s private sector is developing very slowly; the major concerns are instability, the lack of a legal basis, and poor infrastructure.
„Afganistani erasektor areneb väga visalt ja peamised mured on siin ebastabiilsus ning puudulik seadusandlus ja kehv infrastruktuur.
The development of the private sector is also hindered by the complicated security situation, which includes kidnapping,” he added.
Samuti takistab erasektori arengut keeruline julgeolekuolukord, sealhulgas inimröövid,“ lisas ta.
“The government could increase the security of entrepreneurs by strengthening the rule of law and creating a clear legal environment,” said Paet.
„Valitsus saaks suurendada ettevõtjate kindlust õigusriigi tugevdamise ja selge õigusliku keskkonnaga,“ ütles Paet.
During his meeting with Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Petro Porošenko thanked Estonia for its support and aid for Ukraine’s development and on its path to the European Union and NATO.
Ukraina välisminister Petro Porošenko tänas kohtumisel välisminister Urmas Paetiga Eestit toe ja abi eest Ukraina arengu toetamisel ning teel Euroopa Liitu ja NATO-sse.
Porošenko confirmed that regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections, Ukraine would like to continue its close co-operation with the EU and NATO.
Porošenko kinnitas, et hoolimata eelseisvate presidendivalimiste tulemustest soovib Ukraina jätkata tihedat koostööd nii EL-i kui ka NATO-ga.
Foreign Minister Paet stated that Estonia is prepared to support Ukraine on its path towards NATO and the EU in any way it can.
Välisminister Paeti sõnul on Eesti valmis Ukrainat teel NATO ja EL-i suunas igati toetama.
“One new opportunity is the European Union Eastern Partnership programme, within the framework of which co-operation with the EU and NATO can intensify even more,” he added.
„Uus võimalus on Euroopa Liidu Idapartnerluse programm, mille raames saab EL-i ja Ukraina koostöö veelgi tiheneda,“ lisas ta.
Paet stated that Estonia supports visa negotiations between the EU and Ukraine to allow Ukrainian citizens easier access to EU countries.
Paeti sõnul toetab Eesti EL-Ukraina viisaläbirääkimisi, et võimaldada Ukraina kodanikele lihtsamat pääsu EL-i riikidesse.
The ministers said that a social security agreement between Estonia and Ukraine will be concluded shortly.
Ministrite sõnul tuleb peatselt sõlmimisele Eesti ja Ukraina sotsiaalkindlustusleping.
Porošenko invited Paet to pay a visit to Ukraine.
Porošenko kutsus Paeti visiidile Ukrainasse.
Paet confirmed that Estonia will also continue to contribute to the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan (ISAF).
Välisminister Paet kinnitas, et Eesti jätkab panustamist rahvusvahelistesse julgeolekujõududesse Afganistanis.
Paet added that this year Estonia also doubled its contribution to the European Union police mission in Afghanistan.
„Sel aastal kahekordistasime ka oma panust Euroopa Liidu politseimissioonis Afganistanis,“ lausus Paet.
Paet stated that military strikes are needed in order to combat the terrorist group Islamic State.
Paeti sõnul saab pikaajalise rahu tuua vaid diplomaatiline lahendus.
On the subject of developments in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Paet said that in light of Russia's aggression, issues related to energy security have become particularly relevant.
Paeti sõnul on väga oluline ka, et Ukraina saaks läbi viia parlamendivalimised ning alustada sisuliste reformidega.
The results of the survey showed that the population’s interest in global issues has grown from 57% to 67% since 2005.
Uuringu tulemused näitasid, et võrreldes 2005. aastaga on elanikkonna huvitatus globaalsetest teemadest kasvanud 57%-lt 67%-le.
A new keywords associated with development co-operation was the environment, along with related topics such as environmental and energy issues, environmental protection, etc.
Uue teemana nimetati arengukoostöö märksõnana keskkonda ja sellega seonduvat, nagu keskkonna- ning energiaprobleemid, keskkonnakaitse jmt.
Out of regular residents, 81% had heard about Estonia’s development co-operation, while 99% of opinion leaders knew about this topic.

It was also clear from the survey that the population’s support for providing aid to poorer countries had grown from 65% to 76% since the last study.
Samuti selgus uuringust, et elanikkonna toetus vaesemate riikide abistamisele on võrreldes varasemaga kasvanud 65%-lt 76%-ni.
The reason for providing aid that was most often mentioned was to help those in need, while opinion leaders also brought up moral obligation as a reason.

Samas arvamusliidrite teadlikkus õiglasest kaubandusest oli tunduvalt suurem – seda teadis 84% küsitletutest.
Foreign Minister Urmas Paet believes that it is extremely important for every Estonian resident to understand and value development co-operation, since every person can make a contribution to help developing countries and their citizens.
Välisminister Urmas Paeti sõnul on äärmiselt oluline, et iga Eesti elanik mõistaks ja väärtustaks arengukoostööd, sest igaüks saab anda oma panuse arengumaade ning seal elavate inimeste abistamiseks.
“I’m pleased to see that more than three quarters of Estonian people believe that we should help those who have less than we do,” said Paet.
„Heameel on tõdeda, et rohkem kui kolmveerand Eesti inimestest on arvamusel, et me peame aitama endist vaesemaid,” ütles Paet.
“However, we must continue to explain to the population why Estonia, the European Union, and international organisations co-operate to alleviate the situation for many nations struggling in the grip of development problems,” Paet said.
„Siiski on inimestele vaja jätkuvalt selgitada, miks Eesti ning Euroopa Liit ja teised rahvusvahelised organisatsioonid teevad ühiselt tööd, et leevendada olukorda paljudes arenguprobleemide küüsis vaevlevates riikides,” sõnas Paet.
The study was carried out by TNS Emor AS, which surveyed 1001 people and 150 opinion leaders in Estonia.

Inimestelt küsiti, mida ja kui palju on kuuldud arengu- ning humanitaarabi andmisest, millised on teemaga seostuvad märksõnad, kas elanikud on vaesemaid riike valmis abistama jne.
The Foreign Ministry includes its partners in the non-profit sector in its awareness projects.

At his meeting in Tallinn with Czech Foreign Minister Kaarel Schwarzenberg today, on the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, Foreign Minister Urmas Paet expressed hope that the Czech Republic would soon become a full member of the NATO Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
Täna sametrevolutsiooni aastapäeval Tallinnas toimunud kohtumisel Tšehhi välisministri Karel Schwarzenbergiga avaldas välisminister Urmas Paet lootust, et Tšehhi liitub peagi täisliikmena NATO Kooperatiivse Küberkaitse Kompetentsikeskusega.
“The more NATO members we have participating in the work of the centre, the more qualified the centre will be to offer high-level cyber-related advice to NATO member states,” said Paet.
„Mida rohkem NATO liikmeid osaleb keskuse töös, seda suurem on keskuse kompetents, mis võimaldab NATO liikmetele pakkuda kõrgetasemelist küberkaitsealast ekspertiisi,“ sõnas Paet.
“NATO’s cyber security capabilities must increase and be flexible enough to react to cyber developments in the world,” he added.
„Suurenema peab NATO küberkaitsevõime ja tekkima piisavalt paindlikkust reageerimaks küberarengutele maailmas,“ lisas ta.
The Estonian foreign minister recognised the Czech Republic’s participation in protecting Estonia’s airspace.
Eesti välisminister tunnustas Tšehhit osalemise eest Eesti õhuruumi kaitsmisel.

Rääkides reedel algavast NATO tippkohtumisest, kinnitasid Paet ja Schwarzenberg, et NATO edasine areng lähtub kollektiivkaitsest, säilib NATO avatud uste poliitika ning koostööd NATO partneritega arendatakse alliansi julgeoleku ja rahvusvahelise stabiilsuse eesmärgil.
While talking about European Union Eastern Partnership, the foreign ministers emphasised the importance of strengthening Eastern Partnership and continuing co-operation in this sector.
Euroopa Liidu Idapartnerlusest rääkides rõhutasid välisministrid Idapartnerluse tugevdamise ja koostöö jätkamise olulisust selles vallas.
“Frozen conflicts hinder the development of European Union partner countries.
„Külmutatud konfliktid takistavad Euroopa Liidu partnerriikide arengut.
The European Union must support and supplement international efforts to resolve frozen conflicts and take on a greater role than before in these endeavours, which the Eastern Partners expect us to do,” stated Paet.
Euroopa Liit peab toetama ja täiendama rahvusvahelisi pingutusi külmutatud konfliktide lahendamisel ning võtma siin ka senisest suurema rolli, mida idapartnerid ootavad“, lausus Paet.
“In co-operation with the Eastern Partners we must focus on programmes that have quick and tangible results,” he added.
„Koostöös idapartneritega tuleb keskenduda programmidele, millel on kiiremad ja käegakatsutavad tulemused,“ lisas ta.
Paet recognised the Czech Republic’s desire for closer co-operation with the Baltic states.
Paet tunnustas Tšehhi soovi tihedamaks koostööks Balti riikidega.
“Co-operation between the Estonian and Czech foreign ministries has been close—consultations on security policy and European Union policy have taken place,” Paet noted.
