Diplomatic missions of Finland

Diplomatic missions of Finland

Finland's foreign affairs ministry was established shortly after its independence in 1917. To encourage its international recognition and promote its frontier, trade and maritime interests, Finland had commissioned twelve missions abroad by the end of 1918. By the time of the Second World War broke out there were 20 Finnish embassies (of which four were outside Europe) and six consulates [ [http://formin.finland.fi/public/default.aspx?nodeid=15179&contentlan=2&culture=en-US Finnish Foreign Affairs Ministry] ] . Today Finland has a streamlined diplomatic network that uses consulates sparingly. Finland maintains a total of 74 embassies abroad.
