At #NexusLuxembourg, the Finnish pavilion was packed, Finnish companies were well represented, and the Finnish sauna once again proved to be the best networking venue. 🇫🇮🧖♂️😁
Great event and great discussions. Thanks for having us! 🇱🇺
My full support to Marja Ruotanen-Bourgades for Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe. Her strategic vision, strong leadership and exceptional experience from the Secretariat and PACE make her well placed to guide CoE through today’s challenges and reform.

Where 'PRESS' once meant protection, now it's a target. 🕵️♀️ Media is democracy's backbone and needs our defense. Finland and the UK co-chair the Media Freedom Coalition to protect journalists worldwide.✍️🤝🌏 #WorldPressFreedomDay
Did you know that the Finnish community here in Brussels keeps the Vappu spirit alive by placing a student cap on the head of Manneken Pis? It’s our way of recreating that familiar feeling from back home — even far from Finland. Wishing everyone a wonderful and joyful Vappu! 🥂

Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen met with Deputy PM & FM Maxime Prévot in Finland to strengthen bilateral ties and exchange views on security and resilience 🇫🇮🤝🇧🇪
🇧🇪🇫🇮 Concluded a fascinating and inspiring visit to Finland, that allowed me to discover more on how the Finnish authorities work on the resilience of their population, from icebreaking activities in the Gulf of Finland to sustaining civil shelters across the country.
Many thanks to my colleague, @elinavaltonen for the invitation and the warm welcome.
Belgium and Finland share a lot in common, notably the fight to defend democracy and the rule of law. Our economic cooperation is growing, in diverse sectors such as energy and defense. There is much more we can do together, and we will work on that.
We will also keep together defending Ukraine and fighting against Russian malign activities and any kind of hybrid threat in Europe. Thanks to @HybridCoE for the very interesting exchange.
Kiitos paljon!

Finland is the Happiest country in the World for the 9th year running. We also climbed up the world brand index from 7th to 5th.
I am often asked why we do well in these rankings.
I do not think there is a magic potion, but it helps to have a society which strives towards freedom, equality and justice.
The basis of it all is a welfare society, a robust education system, a sense of security and a close attachment to nature.
There is no such thing as a perfectly happy society, but providing some building blocks that give us a chance to live a meaningful life, to help others, will nudge us in the right direction during the journey of life.
Finland is the happiest country for the ninth year in a row.✨ Our happiness is woven into both the structure of society and everyday life. We asked the Onnis (the Finnish word for happiness and also a name) where you can truly find it.💙
