Ambassador Pichler participated in a diplomats’ 2-day trip to the Åland Islands. Great opportunity to learn more about this unique archipelago. Warm thanks to @Ulkoministerio Protocol as well as the Parliament of Åland for the flawless organisation and the warm hospitality!
On the occasion of the visit of an Upper Austrian Business delegation headed by Minister for Economic Affairs of Upper Austria Markus Achleitner and President of the Federation of Upper Austrian Industries Thomas Bründl Ambassador Pichler invited to a 🇦🇹-🇫🇮 networking event.
🇦🇹 and 🇫🇮 are strengthening their cooperation on European security. Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger visited Helsinki and met with her counterpart Elina Valtonen. Focus was on deepening bilateral relations, security, support for 🇺🇦 and joint response to hybrid threats.1⃣
Minister Meinl-Reisinger visited @HybridCoE and met with Director Teija Tiilikainen. “Security means more than defence. It is also about protecting our democracy, our infrastructure and our social cohesion from hybrid threats”, emphasised Minister Meinl-Reisinger.2⃣

Ilo toivottaa tervetulleeksi Helsinkiin kollegani @BMeinl. 🇫🇮🇦🇹
Keskustelimme Suomen ja Itävallan yhteistyön tiivistämisestä sekä ajankohtaisista ulko- ja turvallisuuspoliittisista kysymyksistä, kuten Venäjän hyökkäyssodasta Ukrainassa, Lähi-idästä, transatlanttisista suhteista ja Kiinasta.
Onnittelin Itävaltaa valinnasta YK:n turvallisuusneuvostoon. Itävallan kausi alkaa tammikuussa 2027. Suomi tekee määrätietoisesti töitä seuratakseen perässä kaudella 2029–2030.
For many years 🇦🇹ZAUNERGROUP has been recognized for highly specialized expertise in plant engineering and complex infrastructure projects. Amb. Pichler had the pleasure to attend the opening of the new ZAUNER Mission Critical Nordic Office in Helsinki. Congratulations!
Austrian Federal Minister for European and International Affairs, Beate Meinl-Reisinger, will visit Finland on 18–20 August and meet Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen.
