“This year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Finland and Canada. We greatly appreciate Canada as a northern partner country with the same set of values. Close cooperation with Canada provides an opportunity to strengthen transatlantic unity and ensure a united front in defending the rules-based international system,” Foreign Minister Haavisto says.
