It is true! The saunas of @eu.finlandabroad.fi will be temporarily closed due to renovation in our premises. But no need to worry - Finnish sauna diplomacy isn’t going anywhere! Luckily there are a few other Finnish saunas around Brussels to keep the steam (and the conversations) going. 😊
Steamy soft power is taking a breather.
EU diplomats looking to network while sweating it out will be disappointed for the next few months, as the famed sauna in Finland’s permanent representation in Brussels is closed for renovations.

Sauna diplomacy pauses as top Finnish spot in Brussels closes for now
Finland’s diplomats will “be making use of alternative saunas” this year, as perm rep can’t give a timeline for when famed sweat lodge will reopen.

The @EU_Commission has published the Preparedness Union Strategy today, which extends preparedness and security as a cross-cutting theme to all Union policy areas. Finland has actively advocated for raising security high on the EU agenda, and we warmly welcome the strategy. 🇫🇮🇪🇺
Strengthening our preparedness is a matter of urgency.
Today, we launch the Preparedness Union strategy to help Europe anticipate, prevent, and respond to crises.
From cybersecurity threats to natural hazards, we must be ready.
