Objectives

The Government stands for a state that is cohesive and that values its people and starting of families, where everyone feels safe and included in the society. The important pillars of our independence are the strength of our Defence Forces and activity in international cooperation, membership in the European Union and NATO. The Government will reduce bureaucracy and support a smart economy based on science, development and innovation.

A family-friendly Estonia, where people feel safe and secure. The Government will provide quality services and necessary support to families.
A cohesive society, where its members feel included and where divides between different groups become narrower. The Government supports the right of ethnic groups to develop their culture.
Knowledge-based economy, development of lifelong learning. The Government considers it important to raise the funding of research and development in the public sector to 1% of the GDP.
Efficient governance so that communication with the state would be simple and seamless. For this, the Government will develop the smart e-state and will make state reform a priority.
A safe and protected state where the basic rights and freedoms are equally guaranteed. At least 2% of the GDP must be allocated into national defence; the local defence industry and its export capability will be supported.
