[Dr Diane GASHUMBA @DianeGashumba]

Today I had the privilege of attending a comprehensive and insightful briefing on Finland’s security policy delivered by The Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs @elinavaltonen to the diplomatic corps. Her clarity, depth of analysis, and principled approach to today’s evolving global security landscape were truly commendable.

Together with the Ambassador of Kenya, HE Angeline Musili @Mamagov1 we also expressed our appreciation for the leadership of The President of Finland , His Excellency President @alexstubb and his strong commitment to inclusiveness in global governance, particularly his clear support for greater African representation within the United Nations system. As President Stubb stated: “Africa’s permanent representation in the Security Council is long overdue. The reformed Council should have two permanent members from Africa, alongside with new permanent members from Asia and Latin America.” His thoughtful engagement on the question of Security Council reform and veto power reflects an important recognition of the need for a more balanced and representative international order.

We also emphasized the importance of strengthening Finland–Africa economic relations by addressing barriers to trade, including through Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTTA), while also underscoring the need to contextualize crises as part of interconnected global challenges. Sustainable solutions require not only collective action, but also an honest consideration of the root causes that drive conflict, instability, and inequality.
