On 27 November, Martin Roger, the Estonian Ambassador to Poland, and Jüri Seilenthal, the Director General of the External Economic and Development Cooperation Department of the Foreign Ministry, opened the Honorary Consulate in Wrocław, Poland. Estonia’s Honorary Consul in Wrocław is Waldemar Jan Siemiński.
According to Seilenthal, the consulate will help boost relations between Estonia and Poland. “Opening the Honorary Consul’s Office helps advance Estonian economic interests in Lower Silesia, provides an opportunity to introduce Estonian culture in this part of Poland, and makes it possible to provide consular assistance to citizens if needed,” Seilenthal added.
The formal opening ceremony was held in the historic town hall of Wrocław with the participation of Jacek Sutryk, the Mayor of Wrocław. Following the opening ceremony, an event for Polish startups about digital opportunities in Estonia took place. The event also marked the fifth anniversary of Estonia's e-Residency programme.
The consular region of the Honorary Consul will include the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and the Opole Voivodeship. Estonia is represented by a total of five honorary consuls in Poland – in addition to Wrocław, there are also representations in Białystok, Gdańsk, Szczecin and Kraków.
