Tsahkna said language and music bring societies closer together and announced that he and Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze had presented the Estonia-Latvia Language Promotion Award for the 17th time.

The award is given to honor individuals who strengthen ties between the two countries through language teaching, translation and cultural exchange.
