Press centre

Who are we?

Press & Public Affairs Section deals with the media, both written and electronic. We provide the media and the general public with information about life and events and policies in Britain.
 
What is our aim?

Our aim is to project Britain's image in Estonia and to increase knowledge and understanding of Britain and British policies.

How do we do this?

Through press and public diplomacy.

What is Public Diplomacy?

We organize special events to project Britain's image in Estonia. We also provide printed information about different aspects of life and events in the UK ranging from political elections to housing.

How does the press side work?

We issue press releases of events, arrange press conferences and distribute speeches made by British Ministers. We also have video material available. The Embassy is happy to give interviews and briefings about the British Government and its policies or about any event with which the British Embassy is involved.

Where could I get more information?

If you cannot find the information you need here, the FCO Website offers a wider range of material, which covers all British Foreign policy. You can also find excellent background briefs, called Focus International, which offer reports on a range of subjects.
Alternatively, if your question is country specific you could always surf other British Embassies' websites.

How can you contact us?

You can reach us, the PPA Section, from 0900-1700 Monday to Friday by either phoning the British Embassy on +372 6674700 or e-mailing us direct on infotallinn@fco.gov.uk .
