The Secretary General stressed that with Finland as an Ally, NATO is stronger and Finland is safer. He welcomedthat Finland invests 2% of its GDP in defence. “We also welcome the many Finnish contributions to NATO missions and operations. Just actually this week, you started to do air policing out of Romania. That's yet another example of how you contribute to our shared security,” he said.

Mr Stoltenberg also commended Finland for its support to Ukraine, including2 billion euros in military aid thus far.“We will discuss at the NATO Summit and in the preparations for the NATO Summit, how to ensure that we stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes,” he said.

“Over the last months, we have seen some gaps, some delays in the provision of military support to Ukraine. We need to ensure that that doesn't happen again. And that's the reason why we are now working in NATO on how to establish a NATO mission for Ukraine,” added Mr Stoltenberg. He said that Allies shouldagree on a long-term financial pledge to ensure that Ukraine gets the predictability and accountability it needs.

While in Helsinki, the Secretary General also participatedin an event hosted by the Atlantic Council of FinlandalongsidePresident Stubb, and met with Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen and Defence MinisterAntti Häkkänen.

On Friday, the Secretary General will visit Sweden and meet with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
