Revision as of 20:44, 7 January 2006 by Philip Stevens (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Rein Lang (July 4 1957) is an Estonian politician, member of the Estonian Reform Party, and diplomat. He is currently serving as the Minister of Justice.
Lang grew up partly in Finland, where his father served at the Soviet embassy in Helsinki. Lang is therefore a fluent speaker of Finnish and a champion for Finnish-Estonian relations.
When the new government was announced by Andrus Ansip, Lang was nominated to the post of Minister of Justice, a position he officially took over when the government was conferred on 12 April 2005.
He has also served as the Deputy Speaker of Parliament and Chairman of the European Affairs Committee of Parliament.
