"We will be holding this debate in cooperation with the Foreign Investors Council of Estonia (FICE), and its aim is to provide the necessary platform for leaders of foreign businesses in Estonia, as well as local companies working internationally, for posing their questions, topics and concerns, plus hearing from the speakers about their take on these important issues," said event organizer and AmCham CEO Daria Sivovol.
AmCham Estonia President Indrek Laul said that: "AmCham has been holding such pre-election debates for many years already, and thus, it has become one of the most-awaited English-speaking election events for our international community. Having the tradition of high-level representation by the parties, AmCham – being politically neutral itself – stands to provide a platform to introduce, present and debate various election topics."
"By organizing and hosting such a debate, AmCham Estonia stands for the pillars of democracy – for freedom of speech and free elections," he added.
The debate starts at 15.00 Estonian time (8am EST), on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
