Finland’s relations with various countries are urgently needed, especially with big countries. Urgent, thank you...!!!!

After the war, it long pursued the "active policy of peace and neutrality" of maintaining good-neighborly and friendly relations with the Soviet Union, not intervening in conflicts between major powers, and developing friendly relations with other countries. After the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Finland made major adjustments to its foreign policy and made developing relations with the EU a diplomatic focus. It became a full member of the European Union on January 1, 1995. Finland still adheres to the policy of military non-alignment and independent and reliable defense, and cooperates closely with NATO. At the same time, it continues to maintain good-neighborly relations with Russia and supports Russia's integration into the international community. Finland has officially recognized 183 countries and has diplomatic relations with 165 countries.

Attitudes towards current major international issues

About the world situation: I believe that the international situation is generally easing, but after the "9·11" incident, the world security situation has undergone profound changes. Issues such as contradictions, regional conflicts, terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and environmental pollution pose new global security threats. It advocates addressing the above challenges through international cooperation and giving full play to the core role of the United Nations.

About the globalization process: I believe that globalization has both positive and negative sides. The application of new technologies brought about by globalization, especially information technology, has increased the dependence between countries and, to some extent, increased the importance of democracy and human rights. However, globalization has also caused problems such as the widening gap between rich and poor and uneven regional development. Together with Tanzania and other countries, we proposed the "Helsinki Process" with the purpose of establishing a forum to discuss globalization issues and put forward specific suggestions on the correct guidance and management of globalization through dialogue and cooperation.

About the situation in Europe: It is believed that there is no danger of war in Europe at present, but non-traditional security factors have an increasingly profound impact on European security. The EU and NATO are considered to be the main determinants of the OSCE mechanism. The political significance of NATO's eastward expansion is greater than its military significance. NATO is developing in the direction of a political organization, but will retain the nature of a collective defense organization. The EU's eastward enlargement has strengthened the overall stability of Europe. It supports the EU's development of a common foreign and security policy, but opposes the damage to transatlantic cooperation. It supports EU constitutionalism, emphasizes protecting the interests of small countries and maintaining the balance of power among EU institutions, and does not support the establishment of a permanent EU president.

About the role of the United Nations and its reform: It believes that the United Nations and its Security Council are the main mechanisms for maintaining world peace and practicing international law. It advocates strengthening the role of the United Nations, maintaining the authority of the United Nations, and opposing unilateralism. He believes that reform of the United Nations is imperative and supports the expansion of the Security Council. Actively participate in United Nations peacekeeping activities and advocate that all regional organizations should cooperate closely with the United Nations in resolving conflicts and crises.

About the fight against terrorism: Support and participate in the international fight against terrorism, and at the same time advocate paying attention to poverty and development issues to prevent terrorism from the source. We believe that in the process of counter-terrorism, we should not engage in unilateralism and create confrontation between different civilizations and religions. Terrorism cannot be eradicated by military means alone. Extensive international cooperation should be carried out and the core role of the United Nations should be fully utilized.

On the issue of Iraq: Emphasize that the United Nations should play a leading role in providing humanitarian assistance to Iraq and in post-war peacekeeping and reconstruction work. It is advocated that the international community should actively cooperate and jointly participate in peacekeeping operations. Finland has made it clear that it is willing to send peacekeepers to Iraq under the authorization of the United Nations Security Council. In 2004, approximately 5 million euros of funding was provided to Iraq through the World Bank and the United Nations Reconstruction and Development Fund.
