The visit’s agenda includes meetings with Ukrainian leaders and a business forum featuring Finnish companies.

 

“Prime Minister Orpo will also express support for the reforms necessary for Ukraine’s accession to the EU. These reforms are important not only for the country’s European integration but also for its citizens, businesses, and economic recovery,” according to a statement from the Finnish government’s press service.

The visit will also include a Ukrainian-Finnish business forum with representatives from more than ten Finnish companies.
