Foreign Affairs Minister Timo Soini hopes that Finland would receive invitations to all NATO summits, not just those dealing with crisis management. « It would be very important that Finland could participate in these meetings and receive and give information, » he said. For example, Finland would have a lot to offer in questions related to Baltic Sea safety. Minister Soini finds that Finland’s NATO partnership is in a good shape. However, he hopes that NATO will share more information with Finland on events in nearby areas.
