EU Commissioner Breton visits Finland to pursue discussions on the defence industrial strategy

25 January - 26 January

Brussels, 25 January 2024

Today and tomorrow, Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton, is travelling to Finland as part of his EU defence tour.

Today, Commissioner Breton will end his visit to Poland by meeting with Minister of Finances Andrzej Domański and Minister for Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski.

He will then travel to Finland where he will meet with Prime Minister, Petteri Orpo, as well as with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen, and Minister of Employment, Arto Satonen.

These exchanges are part of the broader consultation on the upcoming European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) involving Member States, the European Parliament, the defence industry, financial players and other relevant stakeholders.

The industrial strategy, and the defence industrial programme which will accompany it, aim to ensure a long-term and structural strengthening of the European defence industrial base to continue both to provide military support to Ukraine and to ensure the security of Member States.
