Ambassador's Welcome
Ambassador Petri Tuomi-Nikula
Dear Friend!
On this website you have the chance to become acquainted with the Embassy, its tasks and partners as well as with the personnel.
The European Union is the most important framework when it comes to the relationship of Finland and Hungary. As any proper family would, the EU takes care of mutual joys and sorrows around the same table.
On top of that, there is an endless amount of topics between Finland and Hungary that are dealt with bilaterally.
Whether it is a question related to consular services, culture, economic or political affairs, you will either find the answer here or be adviced on how to proceed.
Finnagora, the Culture and Science Institute of Finland is located in the same beautiful building as the Embassy on the Gellért mountain. The fastest way to visit Finnagora is to go to their website www.finnagora.hu .
At the Embassy building there is a library that is open for public, during the weekend it hosts the Finnish School. There are several different kinds of events open to public almost weekly. In addition, many Finnish-Hungarian associations hold their meetings under the same roof. We truly are a Finnish House in Budapest!
The ancient special relationship between Finland and Hungary which is based on our kinship of languages provides us with constant joy. It has lasted and flourished since the 19th century until this date regardless of political or economic changes in the continent.
The strength of this relationship is, that it does not bear political, economic nor religious burden. As close relatives, it is constantly present!
