On International Day of the Girl, we reaffirm every girl’s right to education, safety and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Amid conflicts and crises, Finland remains steadfast in its commitment to the rights of women and girls, gender equality and equal participation.
Equality, individual freedom and human rights are non-negotiable. Every girl has the right to be seen and heard, to dream and to shape her own future according to her own aspirations.

I addressed the UN Security Council today on behalf of the Nordic countries.
Our message and our goal are clear: we seek to strengthen and expand support for Ukraine to help secure a just and lasting peace.
Finland in Prague retweeted
Ukraine is preparing for the coming winter and needs all the support we can give. Today, Finland decided on its 34th defence materiel package for Ukraine, worth €290 million. The package includes equipment urgently requested by Ukraine @ZelenskyyUA.
Ukraine is in the fifth year of its defensive struggle. We support Ukraine because it is morally right to do so, and because this is about the security of all of Europe — and therefore about the security of Finland as well.

The defence partnership between Finland and France is deepening.
Our cooperation took a significant step forward this summer when France announced its contribution of troops to NATO’s Forward Land Forces in Finland. Today, we took a new step forward as Finland joined the French forward deterrence initiative.
The initiative is first and foremost about strengthening European security. It reinforces Europe’s responsibility for its own defence and helps prevent escalation.
The French initiative does not replace or overlap with NATO’s nuclear deterrence. Finland’s foremost priority is to act as part of NATO and the European Union.
Finland does not intend to station nuclear weapons on its territory in peacetime.

Dnes se uzavřela jedna významná diplomatická kapitola. Zastavil jsem se rozloučit s končícím finským velvyslancem @Tuominpa a bylo mi velkou ctí stát se jeho vůbec posledním hostem ve funkci. 🇫🇮🤝🏻🇨🇿
Během své mise u nás odvedl obrovský kus práce, nejen pro větší byznysovou kooperaci mezi našimi zeměmi, ale odpracovali jsme spolu i podstatnou změnu českých stavebních norem, které nově umožňují jednodušeji stavět ze dřeva. Finsko tady pro nás bylo velkou inspirací.
Děkuji za skvělou spolupráci, vřelost, přátelství i to, že Pasi nikdy nezapomněl stát na straně hodnot, jako je svoboda a demokracie. Přeji mnoho úspěchů v další kariéře!
