Activities

On 17 April 2006 an agreement was signed in Tallinn, Estonia by the Maryland Secretary of State (see attached agreement in both English and Estonian)

Starting with the end of the Cold War the Maryland National Guard became linked with the Estonian Kaitseliit (Home Guard). This military to military link as part of NATO’s Partnership for Peace Program (PfP) has led to this State Partnership Program (SPP). Eleven city partnerships and two county partnerships already exist between Maryland and Estonia. Many educational and cultural links have developed. In addition business links, police links and medical links have been built over the last few years.
