This is a list of diplomatic missions of Estonia.
Estonia reestablished a foreign ministry on 12 April 1990, while the country was slowly restoring independence from the
Soviet Union, with the symbols and instruments of
sovereignty progressively being reintroduced. The events in August the following year when a
coup attempt failed in Moscow accelerated the progress towards independence. The staff of the ministry worked a seven-day work week with threadbare facilities and supplies until January 1992, after they had secured Estonia's international recognition, and opened missions in
New York City,
Helsinki,
Stockholm,
Copenhagen,
Bonn,
Paris, and
Moscow.[1]
The Estonian government considers
Estonia's incorporation into the
Soviet Union illegal, and the foreign ministry to have been in continual operation since 1918.
