Ambassadors have a special place in the global ecosystem. Once a year, they clean their nests and gather as a herd back to their birthplace in Finland.
At the public's request, the ambassadors' meeting’s marketing video has now English subtitles. #SLSK2024

Finland has been ranked the Happiest Country in the World, now for seven years in a row.
Many reasons for it, here are my three:
1. Nature.
2. Trust.
3. Education.
There are naturally many other reasons for collective happiness. What would be your top three?

Devastating news about the death of Alexei Navalny. If confirmed, Russia bears the responsibility. Navalny sacrificed his life for the right to stand for election. Evidently, what autocrats most fear is people’s freedom to choose. My condolences to Navalny‘s family. – at Helsinki, Finland

Myös Puolassa tapahtuu. Hallituksen vaihtumisen myötä vähemmistöt saavat oikeutensa takaisin. Toimittaja pyytää TV-lähetyksessä anteeksi värisevin äänin sitä, että on syyttänyt LGBT-ihmisten olevan uhka Puolan kansalle. Tsemppiä @donaldtusk – at Espoo, Suomi
Today, first time in Polish TV, after 8 years of right-wing government, the LGBT+ activists appeared in live broadcast. I was seating there and heard journalist shaking voice. He made an apology after years of portraying LGBT-people a threat to Polish nation in the same studio. I was moved.. Apology an important part of reconciliation. This is Poland I want to fight for... Thank you...
