Ambassadors have a special place in the global ecosystem. Once a year, they clean their nests and gather as a herd back to their birthplace in Finland.

At the public's request, the ambassadors' meeting’s marketing video has now English subtitles. #SLSK2024

Foreign Minister @elinavaltonen: "We will seek support for Ukraine and international law both in the European Union and globally. We will support Ukraine to achieve a world where peace prevails, not the law of the strongest." #SLSK2024

We will prevail with friends like you, dear @elinavaltonen. Thank you to Finland 🇫🇮 for supporting Belarusians' right to live in a free & democratic nation without oppression.

#StandWithBelarus

[Elina Valtonen @elinavaltonen]

Today is the 4th anniversary of the fraudulent presidential elections in Belarus. Hundreds of thousands of Belarusians took to the streets to peacefully defend their right to choose their own future. 🇫🇮 supports a democratic Belarus and stands with its people. #StandWithBelarus

[Elina Valtonen @elinavaltonen]

Ulkoministeriö on päivittänyt #Libanon matkustustiedotetta.

Turvallisuustilanne on hyvin jännittynyt ja voi muuttua nopeasti. Kehotamme välttämään kaikkea matkustamista Libanoniin ja maassa olevia suomalaisia poistumaan maasta.

Kaupalliset lentoyhteydet ovat heikentyneet. Jos sotatoimet kiihtyvät, maasta pois pääseminen voi käydä mahdottomaksi. @finlandinbeirut toimii normaalisti.
