List of diplomatic missions of Finland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 diplomatic missions abroad by the end of 1918. By the time the Second World War broke out there were 20 Finnish embassies (of which four were outside Europe) and six consulates.[1]

Finnish diplomatic missions

As of 2026, the modern-day Republic of Finland has a streamlined diplomatic network that consists of 73 embassies, 6 consulates-general, 1 consulate, 7 permanent missions or representations to multilateral organizations, and two separate offices: a liaison office in Belarus and a representative office in Palestine.[2][3]

In countries without Finnish representation, Finnish citizens can seek assistance from public officials in the foreign services of any of the other Nordic countries, in accordance with the Helsinki Treaty.[4][5]
