When meeting with his Estonian counterpart Kersti Kaljulaid, Xi called for China and Estonia to promote the synergy of the BRI with the Baltic country's development strategy.

All countries, regardless of size, are equal members of the international community, Xi said.

China is willing to promote greater development of bilateral ties with Estonia on the basis of mutual respect on an equal footing, Xi added.

He also said China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Europe, maintain multilateralism, fight against unilateralism and jointly build an open world economy.

Kaljulaid, who is making her first visit to China, said her country is willing to maintain close communication and coordination with China on multilateral issues, and jointly safeguard international rules and order.
