President of the Central African Republic Catherine Samba Panza has praised Estonian troops for 'stablizing' the security situation in the country.

Estonian Minister of Defense Sven Mikser met with the president Wednesday, reports National Broadcasting.

Samba-Panza stated that the security situation in the country is still fragile and a matter of concern, and may change quickly. Samba-Panza thanked Estonia for swift contribution to stabilizing the security situation in the Central African Republic and gave the Estonian delegation an overview of the security situation.
