What does a 101-year-old Ministry of Foreign Affairs look like? Obviously, it looks like its people.
613 people work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
60% of all diplomats are women.
173 diplomats represent Estonia abroad.
Estonia has 47 foreign representations with 358 employees.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has worked continuously since 1918.
It did not stop working between 1940 and 1991; instead, it continued to operate through its embassy in London and the consulate general in New York City.
In this way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has had the honour of helping to preserve Estonian statehood.
