Report on the development of national defence has been published
The 2024 Government Defence Report concludes that “sufficient long-term resourcing is the most critical factor for ensuring Finland’s defence capability”. Accordingly, the Government appointed a parliamentary working group on defence for the period from 27 November 2025 to 30 June 2026.
The purpose of the work has been to provide Parliament actively and comprehensively with information on the need to develop and resource Finland’s homeland defence in the 2030s. The aim was to strengthen the ability of parliamentary parties to commit to defence policy guidelines across electoral terms. The task was to share information on defence-related developments, not to formulate a common position on defence.
