Ukraine deserves united European resolve — at the heart of my excellent discussion with FM @eli_valtonen. The @coe remains at the forefront in the pursuit of accountability. Next milestone: 16 December in The Hague, with the adoption of the Convention on the Claims Commission.

Amid growing pressures on women’s rights and other pillars of European democracy, my discussion with Minister @sannigrahn was reassuring. Finland’s strong support for gender equality, the Istanbul Convention, and efforts to end violence against women is needed more than ever.

Foresight is much more than a tool. It is a systematic way of analysing risks, questioning assumptions, and bringing long-term thinking into the centre of public decision-making. This is why tonight's debate is important. Thank you to all contributing to the #NewDemocraticPact

Met with Finnish civil society organisations. We agree: the current political climate in Europe, dominated by war & hard security, risks overshadowing human rights, inclusivity, and democratic security. That’s why a direct line between civil society and @coe is essential.

Grateful to Minister @Jocke_Strand for today’s thoughtful exchange. We discussed the @coe’s role in supporting member states such as Ukraine, Moldova & the Western Balkans in strengthening the rule of law and democracy—crucial elements in their EU accession processes.
