Suomi 🇫🇮 oli yksi useista keskeisistä kansainvälisistä kumppaneista Pohjois-Irlannin rauhanprosessissa, ja suomalaisten roolia muistetaan ja arvostetaan edelleen. #rauhanvälitys #PeaceMediation CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation Lisää aiheesta: ireland.ie/en/dfa/role-po…

You are right, Simon Harris TD, these Russian atrocities are opposite to peace efforts. They show that Russia does not seek peace—it wants to continue the war. And it must be stopped and held accountable. I am grateful to Ireland for its contribution and support for Ukraine.

Really great to hear Vjosa Osmani President of the Republic of Kosovo speak today at the University of Helsinki on her vision for European integration. I spent some time in the region in 1999 and have great memories of all those I met and worked with.
