The speaker strongly supports the government's stance that the defense industry is a national priority and a vital part of Estonia's defense capability. The political focus is aimed at reducing bureaucracy and creating a competitive environment for the production of weapons and ammunition. This position is clearly rooted in policy and security concerns, emphasizing the need to provide the defense industry with clear political guidance.

The political focus is heavily centered on national defense and international military cooperation. The speaker firmly supports Estonia's contribution to the UK-led JEF (Joint Expeditionary Force) and the UN peacekeeping operation UNTSO, stressing the continuation of readiness. The approach is policy-driven, concentrating on fulfilling existing commitments and praising the formats as a "superb format that enables rapid action."

The political stance is strongly pro-European and security-focused, underscoring the necessity of boosting European defense capabilities and investments in response to Russian aggression. We strongly support EU enlargement (Ukraine, Moldova, Western Balkans) both to enhance economic competitiveness and to ensure security. The policy aims to find concrete solutions, such as issuing European defense bonds and utilizing frozen Russian assets.
