He will take part in an informal meeting of EU Foreign Ministers (known as the Gymnich). The agenda includes key foreign policy challenges, including North Korea\u2019s missile tests, Russian aggression, migration, and Syria.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Secretary will visit the 800 British troops based in Estonia, as part of the UK\u2019s commitment to NATO\u2019s Enhanced Forward Presence.<\/p>\n

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:<\/p>\n

\n

Europe is facing a number of shared challenges, from migration in the south to the threat of terror in many of our major cities.<\/p>\n

The UK is, and will remain, at the front of international efforts to tackle these challenges. Working alongside the EU, our European neighbours and NATO allies we are bringing our expertise, security capabilities, development work and global network to the table.<\/p>\n

Our troop commitment to Estonia is just one part of our broader and diverse partnership. Whether it\u2019s the 15,000 Estonians in the UK or British companies in Estonia, we will continue to boost our relationship across the board.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
