The Estonian Head of State particularly highlighted the contribution of the Lithuanian Ambassador to the advancement of our cultural exchange and cooperation in the field of education. This is borne out also by the fact that, in the framework of official student exchange, nearly 200 students from Lithuania are presently studying in Estonia.
In acknowledgement of the services of Ambassador Tonkūnas to Estonia, the President decorated him with the I Class Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana.
