What is the purpose of the Mission of Finland to NATO?
The Mission of Finland to NATO manages Finland’s relations with NATO within the framework of Partnership for Peace. The Mission acts as an intermediary between the national authorities and NATO. Several administrative branches participate in Finland-NATO cooperation. The most active ones are: The Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence, Defence Command Finland, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of the Interior as well as the National Emergency Supply Agency, an organisation accountable to the Ministry of Employment and the Economy. Personnel of the Mission report to Helsinki and participate in meetings and working groups on a weekly basis. The Mission actively disseminates relevant information on Finland-NATO cooperation to policymakers, interest groups and citizens.
