Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen and Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Pr\u00e9vot will discuss bilateral affairs between Finland and Belgium as well as foreign and security policy matters.<\/p>\n

The main topics will be Russia\u2019s war of aggression against Ukraine, support for Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, transatlantic relations and European security.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a founding member of the EU and NATO, Belgium is a close ally for Finland. We are working together to strengthen European security, support Ukraine and respond to the challenges posed by Russia\u2019s shadow fleet and hybrid threats. We also see opportunities to deepen cooperation between our countries. Commercial relations, in particular, have great potential for growth,\u201d says Foreign Minister Valtonen.<\/p>\n

While in Helsinki, Foreign Minister Pr\u00e9vot will visit a civil defence shelter in Helsinki’s Merihaka district to gain insight into Finland\u2019s comprehensive security approach. He will also tour the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats and visit a Finnish icebreaker to learn about the situational picture of the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n
