in his speech Ambassador pointed out that all of Finland`s 93 years of independence has not been rosy. In this respect, Finland shares the challenges of independence with Vietnam. “It don`t come easy, you have to work for it”, the Ambassador concluded.
Ambassador also highlighted Finland`s high rankings in several different global measurements. As a crown of victory he mentioned the Newsweek choosing Finland the best country in the world.
Whatever the measure, they show that Finland works. Following the Finland brand report, that was published a couple of weeks ago, Finland has good grounds becoming the Silicon valley of social innovations and the world problem solving leader, Ambassador predicts.
