TALLINN (Sputnik) – Estonia is doing everything possible to guarantee the best conditions for training its allies' military forces, Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas said Monday.
'The role of our allies, and, of course, the United States, in ensuring security of our region has key importance. Estonia is doing everything that the allies' forces in Estonia are guaranteed all possibilities for training and decent living conditions,' Roivas said at a meeting with US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey.
Roivas added that Washington and Tallinn had similar views on security, which both recommend that NATO adapt.
Dempsey is currently on his final foreign trip as the top US military officer.
In June, the United States pledged to construct military training facilities in six Eastern European nations, including Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Poland, Bulgaria and Romania, to facilitate the flexibility of NATO troops in the region.
Russia has repeatedly stated that the bloc's increased activities near its borders undermines regional and international stability.
