- A pleasure to meet again with my Kenyan colleague @MusaliaMudavadi. We share a commitment to multilateralism and regional cooperation. Finland and Kenya are partners in promoting peace and security. Strengthening trade and business ties remains high on our common agenda.
- In armed conflicts and humanitarian crises, persons with disabilities are too often left behind. Finland wants to strengthen their meaningful participation in conflict prevention and peacebuilding. My speech at the #COSP19: finlandabroad.fi/web/un/current…

Ulkoministeri @elinavaltonen tapaa 10.–12. kesäkuuta Kenian pää- ja ulkoministerin Musalia Mudavadin, Intian ulkoministerin Subrahmanyam Jaishankarin sekä Arabiemiraattien kansliaministerin Lana bint Zaki Nusseibehin. Tiedote ⬇️ - In the past months, Ukraine has substantially strengthened both militarily and diplomatically. The window is open for peace talks but for them to work, they need to start with a full ceasefire. Thank you for the interview, @FoxNews.
