History

Lithuania and Estonia officially established diplomatic relations on 2 March 1921. Following the Soviet occupation after the World War II, both states continued the diplomatic service in exile. After the independence restoration, the relations were re-established de facto on 16 June 1991.

Agreements

Many of the agreements between the two countries are trilateral with Latvia as the three Baltic states.

In 2004, the free trade agreement signed in 1992 between the Baltic states was superseded when all three countries joined the European Union. .[1]

In 2017, the two countries along with Latvia, signed a rail agreement. The agreement is a precondition for a possible high speed railway between the states.[2]
