A lot of interest toward Finland in Washington. Good exchanges with senators Todd Young, Rick Scott, Rand Paul, Mike Rounds, Mark Warner, Thom Tillis, Tim Kaine and Jim Risch. Tomorrow programme will continue with a meeting with Secretary of State Secretary Antony Blinken 🇫🇮🇺🇲
Meetings with US senators continue. An excellent discussion with Sen. Tammy Baldwin today in Kultaranta.
One of my favorite things in DC has been the opportunity to get challenged by future decision makers. Students from The School of New York Times asked me yesterday e.g. how is trust built in a society. Thanks for making the visit happen (and for the tote bag), Scott Cullinane
One step closer: Senate Foreign Affairs Committee has voted in favor of ratifying Finland and Sweden’s #NATO Accession Protocols. Warmest thanks, committee leadership Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator Bob Menendez Jim Risch Next step, vote in the Senate floor. #StrongerTogether
Professionally these past six months have been busy and memorable. I’m glad I could join forces with my Swedish colleague Björn. Today we went for the last time to Congress before my return to Finland. Tusen tack för bra samarbete! | #NATO #StrongerTogether Urban Ahlin, Ambassador of Sweden to USA
.Leena-Kaisa Mikkola : Extremely pleased and grateful to see the U.S. Senate ratify Finland’s NATO accession with such broad support and speed. This major step solidifies the U.S.-Finland bond. In Finland, the U.S. will gain a reliable ally used to carrying more than its weight. 1/3
I sadly missed the NATO ratification in DC, but luckily colleagues at Embassy of Finland in the US 🇫🇮 know how to comfort. Thank you Pasi Rajala for the gift in the basket. Now I’m biking in Helsinki, soon as the Adviser to Under Secretary of State for Foreign and Security Policy. Looking forward!
If your goal is to leave an unforgettable impression to your new colleagues, use dishwashing liquid in the washing machine. In larger quantities it makes a great foam party. #offtoagoodstart #sorry MFA Finland 🇫🇮
In the past few weeks Heli Lehto has (patiently) taught me the details of my new tasks. Now we’re on our own, though she left us with a pile of Nordic Noir (would the work not be exciting enough). Thank you and all the best in London & Finnish Embassy UK!
