President Ilves to depart today for a working visit to Finland

02.11.2012

The President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, will meet with the Finnish Head of State, Sauli Niinistö, and travel to Helsinki at the invitation of one of the most influential non-governmental organisations, Trilateral Commission, to participate in their 36th European Regional Meeting.

The crisis in Europe and the future of the European Union, together with the relations of Finland and the Baltic states with the European Union, will be the focus of both the bilateral meeting of the presidents of Estonia and Finland and the European Regional Meeting of the Trilateral Commission.

The Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by private citizens from Japan, Europe (European Union countries) and North America (United States and Canada) to foster closer cooperation among these core industrialised areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system and to promote democratic values. The members of the organisation include well-known people from economic, political and research spheres. Toomas Hendrik Ilves has also been a member of the Commission.

While in Helsinki, President Ilves will also visit the head office of F-Secure Corporation, one of the largest information security software producers in the Nordic countries.
