Minister of Defence: Finland hasn't ruled out a defence union with Sweden
Jussi Niinistö (PS), the Minister of Defence, has echoed the sentiments of ex-Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen (Centre) by floating the idea of a defence union between Finland and Sweden in an interview with Kaleva.
“A bilateral treaty hasn't been ruled out. The co-operation between Finland and Sweden is concrete, but we have a long road ahead of us,” he told the Oulu-based newspaper on Tuesday.
