Marina Kaljurand Biography

Marina Kaljurand is one of the most popular and richest Badminton Player who was born on September 6, 1962 in Tallinn, Soviet Union. The e-GovernanceAcademy presented the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI) at the Tallinn e-Governance Conference on 31 May. According to Kaljurand cybersecurity, it is now a security guarantee for all countries of today’s 21st century. “In the interests of international and national cyber security, we have to use every opportunity to increase the cyber security capacities of countries,” Kaljurand said Kaljurand in the launch of the index. “It is in the interests of both governments and the public. The index is yet another contribution made by Estonia to increasing security in cyber space.”

Kaljurand was the ambassador of Estonia to Israel between 2004 and 2006. He also travelled for the Russian Federation in 2005-2008, to Kazakhstan between 2007 and 2011 in 2007-2011, to Canada between 2011 and 2013 and then for Canada in 2011-2013, and to the United States and Mexico in the years 2011-2014.

She is also and avid supporter of NATO frequently pointing out the importance of it in her speeches. “The political unity of our NATO allies and a common understanding of the risks and requirements the alliance faces has been and is very important for Estonia. We are pleased that in 2015 the security of Estonia was visibly strengthened with the support of our allies – they shared our assessment of threats and understood us. As is stated in the National Security Concept of Estonia, NATO, with its transatlantic nature and the principle of collective defence, serves as the cornerstone of European, and therefore also Estonian, national security and defence.” “With all due respect to those who claim that NATO is “warmongering” or “provoking Russia” with our exercises, this is the reality: NATO drills prepare for the defense of our territory, our allies and our people in case of attack. Russia’s drills are offensive, simulating the invasion of its neighbors, the destruction and seizure of critical military and economic infrastructure, and targeted nuclear strikes on NATO allies and partners.”

During her speech held at the Sustainable Summit in New York City (2015) Kaljurand pointed out her main concerns on gender equality. “I would like to use my short minutes to touch upon one of the most important root causes of inequality related to gender aspects – lack of education and shortcomings in sexual and reproductive health and rights. It is a complex matter that cannot be fixed with one magic solution. The Beijing Platform of Action and related national and international norms will not fulfill their goals unless we stop the prevalence of stereotypical attitudes, social norms and practices that support and reproduce discrimination and violence against women. All people have the right to have control and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality, free of coercion, discrimination and violence – as a matter of social justice. Sexual and reproductive rights are about bodily integrity, equality and freedom of choice. We cannot look away from the fact that these rights are violated every day, in all our countries.”

Kaljurand is fluent in three different languages: Estonian, Russian and English. She is married to two children: daughters Kaisa (born in the year 1987) as well as son Kristjan (born in 1992). Her interests include reading, long walks and with two of her dogs, and playing badminton. She is a multi- time Estonian championship in the sport of badminton (1980-1991). In addition, she’s a part of the Estonian Scottish Terrier Association.
