About Embassy of Finland, Washington, D.C.
Based in Washington, DC, the Embassy of Finland represents the Finnish government and its people in the United States, serving as the official voice of Finland in American affairs. The Ambassador, appointed by the President of Finland, leads this mission with a focus on deepening relationships that extend far beyond traditional diplomacy. The Embassy's work encompasses fostering connections in culture, science, research, and civil society—recognizing that strong nations are built on shared understanding and collaborative innovation. The institution takes pride in its role as a steward of Finnish-American relations, actively cultivating engagement with the Finnish-American community across the country and ensuring their voices are heard in diplomatic channels. Complementing the Washington headquarters, Finland maintains Consulates General in New York and Los Angeles that work closely with state-level partners to advance trade and investment while providing vital consular support. The Embassy also champions the strengthening of U.S.-European partnerships, particularly with the European Union, viewing these connections as essential to global stability and prosperity. Housed in a beautiful building designed by Finnish architects, the Embassy in Washington, DC stands as a testament to Finnish creativity and serves as a gathering place for meaningful dialogue, cultural celebration, and institutional partnership between two democratic nations committed to shared values and mutual respect.
