On May 18, 2022, Finland decided to join the NATO Alliance, becoming a full member less than a year later. Finland’s decision to join NATO was a monumental decision for both the United States, Finland, and the Alliance as a whole. Join us for a conversation with former Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto for a look into how Finland is already actively contributing to the NATO Alliance, the impact this decision has had on Northern European security, and the future of Russia-Finland relations. The Ahtisaari Symposium series, established at the Wilson Center in 2010 in honor of Nobel Laureate and former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, addresses vital issues concerning European and transatlantic security. A reception will be held after the event.
