2026Baltic-Nordic Cooperation 35 - First Day Cover

The story of Nordic-Baltic cooperation is like that of a tree which survives a storm only to grow even stronger. When Estonia returned to the European family of nations after restoring its statehood in 1991, the Nordic countries contributed to democracy taking root and flourishing in the country by offering their knowledge, experience and values. In the decades since, this has evolved into a mutual partnership: not just one of providing assistance, but a common space in which all are free to act. The tree on this stamp symbolises that connection, with common roots carrying experience of the past, the trunk consolidating trust and the branches stretching out into the future.
