NordenBladet — The first meeting of foreign ministers under Norway’s presidency of the Nordic (N5) cooperation on foreign and security policy will be held as a virtual meeting on 8 March. Minister for Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto will represent Finland at the meeting.The Nordic foreign ministers will discuss Russia’s attack on Ukraine and support to Ukraine. All Nordic countries strongly condemn Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Russia’s target is Ukraine, but the invasion is also an attack against the entire European security order. The attack is a grave breach of international law. Russia should cease military operations immediately and return to the negotiating table.Finland supports Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, self-determination and territorial integrity.  “It is important that we maintain close contacts with all countries in this situation. The Nordic countries are Finland’s closest partners, so I highly appreciate this opportunity to meet and discuss with my colleagues,” says Minister for Foreign Affairs Haavisto.
