The Foreign Ministers of the OSCE participating States will participate in the meeting via video teleconferencing (VTC) under the leadership of Albania, which holds the current OSCE Chairmanship. The meeting aims to decide on appointments of senior OSCE officials and to confirm the Chairmanships for 2023 and 2024.

The ongoing conflicts in the OSCE region, especially the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the political and human-rights situation in Belarus, and the Ukraine conflict will be discussed at the meeting. Finland emphasises the implementation of the OSCE commitments and the use of OSCE instruments to help resolve the conflicts in the region.

The OSCE is a central forum for European security. The activities of the OSCE are based on the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was signed 45 years ago, in 1975, in Helsinki.

Utrikesministeriets enkätundersökning: ryssarna förhåller sig negativare till Finland, ungdomarna har positivare inställningar13.10.2023 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Enligt den av Finlands ambassad i Moskva beställda enkätundersökningen förhåller sig en dryg tredjedel av de ryssar som svarade på enkäten positivt till Finland. För ett år sedan uppgav ungefär hälften att de är positiva till Finland. Enligt enkätundersökningen har Finlands rykte försämrats främst av att ryska medier har gett en felaktig och negativ bild av Finlands Natomedlemskap. Ungdomarnas inställningar till Finland är positivare.
