𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐫. 𝐉𝐮𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐢!

Just over a week ago, I had the privilege of taking up my position as Consul General of Finland to Hong Kong and Macao, and I am delighted to begin this new chapter in this unique region, known for its energy, international outlook and dynamism.

I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to strengthen the ties between Finland, Hong Kong and Macao in ways that benefit us all. In particular, I look forward to advancing cooperation in trade, investment, innovation and culture, while also encouraging closer connections between our people.

Alongside official relations, I firmly believe that lasting partnerships are built through personal encounters and mutual understanding. Tourism, including Finnair's direct flights between Hong Kong and Helsinki, and vibrant student exchange programs are excellent ways to bring our communities closer together.

Finland has much to offer to its international partners. As the world's happiest country, Finland is known for its high quality of life, outstanding education system, safety, innovation and close connection to nature. Many Finnish companies are global leaders in digitalization, sustainability and health technologies. We are also home to one of Europe's most dynamic start-up ecosystems, creating exciting opportunities for investors and businesses looking for innovation, growth and new partnerships.

At the same time, Hong Kong offers Finnish companies a world-class international business environment, deep capital markets and an important gateway to Asia. I see tremendous potential to expand collaboration and create new opportunities for our economies and societies.

As I begin this new chapter, I look forward to meeting people from all walks of life in my new home. Together, I am confident that we can build even stronger bridges between Finland, Hong Kong and Macao, and create new opportunities for cooperation in the years ahead.

Kiitos and thank you for the warm welcome!

For the past six months I have had the privilege of working in the Consulate General of Finland in Hong Kong and Macao.🇫🇮🇭🇰

I came to Hong Kong looking for more experience working and living outside of Finland. During my stay, I contributed to writing reports, diplomatic work, planning and organisation of public events, and creation of content for the Consulate’s social media. The experience surpassed everything I had hoped for, and for that I am incredibly grateful.

I will miss Hong Kong – the vibrant streets, the beautiful nature, and the many people I met and befriended during my stay.💙 I am sure this is not my last time in Hong Kong, and the experiences and connections made here will be invaluable wherever future takes me.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged, advised, and supported me during this internship. And thank you to Hong Kong!🙏

A proud moment for Finland and Finnish architecture. 🇫🇮
