Good morning from the Finnish Archipelago. Beautiful, as ever. Rough and rugged. Did you know we have some 180 000 islands?

R to @alexstubb: And the last one, in the middle of nowhere, as they say at Salla.

R to @alexstubb: And a few more for the road.

Finland is full of hidden gems. Nature pure and simple. Peace and quiet.
These pics are from Salla and Kuusamo over the weekend. Both up North.

Always worth the visit. Four seasons and all. This time +23C, sun and white nights.

There are many reasons to visit Finland - for instance the archipelago, the lake district and North Finland. If you are into swimming and nature, check out the Downhill swim. Did it yesterday for the first time. I have done many sports events over the years, but this is the best one ever, hands down. Epic experience.

Kolme syytä, miksi Euroopan poliittinen yhteisö on niin tärkeä:
1. Se tuo yhteen koko Euroopan, ei vain EU:a, Natoa tai ETA:ta.
2. Se lähettää Venäjälle selkeän viestin: Eurooppa on yhtenäinen.
3. Se tuo Iso-Britannian takaisin Eurooppaan – ilman perisyntiä.
Kiitollinen monista hienoista keskusteluista tänään Blenheimin palatsissa.

Three reasons why the European Political Community is so important:
1. It brings together all of Europe, not only the EU, NATO or the EEA.
2. It sends a clear message to Russia: Europe is united.
3. It brings the UK back to Europe – without committing the original sin.
Grateful for many wonderful discussions today at the Blenheim Palace.

Erittäin hyvät kahdenväliset tapaamiset Kosovon ja Azerbaijanin presidenttien ja Armenian pääministerin kanssa EPC-huippukokouksen yhteydessä. Keskustelimme muun muassa Euroopan turvallisuudesta, Ukrainasta, alueellisista asioista ja Suomen tulevasta Etyjin puheenjohtajuudesta.
***
Very good bilateral meetings with the Presidents of Kosovo and Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia in the margins of the EPC Summit. We discussed European security, Ukraine, regional issues and Finland’s upcoming OSCE Chairmanship, among other topics.

R to @alexstubb: Jag deltar i dag i Europeiska politiska gemenskapens möte i Woodstock, Storbritannien.
 
Målet med mötet är att stärka säkerheten, stabiliteten och välståndet i Ukraina och i hela Europa.
 
I den tid vi lever i är behovet av diskussion och samarbete större än någonsin.

Osallistun tänään Euroopan poliittisen yhteisön kokoukseen Woodstockissa, Isossa-Britanniassa.
Kokouksen tavoite on vahvistaa Ukrainan sekä koko Euroopan turvallisuutta, vakautta ja vaurautta.
Tässä ajassa keskustelulle ja yhteistyölle on tarvetta enemmän kuin koskaan.

Appalled an shocked by the attack on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally.
Glad to hear that he seems to be doing well.
I strongly condemn this and any act of political violence.
My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all the victims of this attack.

An epic battle. Finnish-British cooperation at its best!
Harri, lämpimät onnittelut! Uraasi on ollut ilo seurata. Onnea tulevaan.

RT by @alexstubb: President @alexstubb on @AmericaRpts:

“We are a new ally. But we are a security provider, not a security consumer. We have one of the largest militaries in Europe. -- We've just doubled NATO's border with Russia, but we are a pretty safe pair of hands.”

Finnish President @alexstubb joins @johnrobertsFox on whether he has concerns over a second Biden term, and he reacts to a report that NATO allies are concerned about President Biden's health and to discussions of former President Trump's support of NATO. #AmericaReports

Nice to meet my old friend Bill Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Between allies it’s always easy to share information and ideas.

RT by @alexstubb: Arctic ice is melting — and it’s making our waters easier to navigate, for us and our adversaries.

So, Canada, the U.S., and Finland have signed a new polar partnership to build more icebreakers, preserve peace and stability, and strengthen @NATO’s Arctic presence, together.

[2024-07-11 17:03 UTC]

RT by @alexstubb: Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, Finnish President Stubb, and I are proud to announce the Icebreaker Collaboration Effort between our nations.

This effort will not only build cutting-edge icebreakers, it'll create good jobs and sustain peace in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

[2024-07-11 14:30 UTC]

R to @alexstubb: Together with the President of the United States @potus and the Prime Minister of Canada @justintrudeau, we have adopted a joint statement on icebreaker cooperation. It is a strategic, political and economic declaration. It is the first step in building a partnership with our North American Allies in a sector that is important to us.
This is a great opportunity for Finland. Of the world's icebreakers, 80 per cent are designed in Finland and 60 per cent are built in Finland. Finnish expertise is highly valued. Without Finland's membership in NATO, this joint statement would not have come true.

[2024-07-11 14:46 UTC]

R to @alexstubb: Tillsammans med Förenta staternas president @potus och Kanadas premiärminister @justintrudeau har vi antagit ett gemensamt uttalande om isbrytarsamarbete. Det är en strategisk, politisk och ekonomisk deklaration. Det är det första steget i att bygga upp ett partnerskap med våra nordamerikanska allierade inom en sektor som är viktig för oss.

Det här är en stor möjlighet för Finland. Av världens isbrytare är 80 procent planerade i Finland och 60 procent byggda i Finland. Finsk expertis värderas högt. Utan Finlands medlemskap i Nato skulle denna deklaration inte ha blivit till.
