MOFA response to violation of Estonian airspace by Russian fighter aircraft and Estonian request for NATO Article 4 consultations

September 20, 2025 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) expresses the utmost concern over the incursion into Estonian airspace by Russian fighter aircraft on September 19. As a democratic partner of the international community, Taiwan firmly supports the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its European partners to uphold territorial integrity and regional security. 
 
Any actions that disrupt the international order or challenge regional peace are unacceptable. Taiwan stands with its democratic partners to defend the democratic umbrella and uphold the international order based on rules and norms against attempts to unilaterally change the status quo by the use of force or coercion.
 
MOFA will continue to closely follow related developments and collaborate with like-minded countries to safeguard regional and global peace and stability.
