Finland will hold the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2025 in collaboration with the Government of Åland. The shared Nordic region vision of the prime ministers guides the Nordic Council of Ministers towards the most sustainable and integrated Nordic Region in the world by 2030.
During its Presidency, Finland will focus particularly on comprehensive public security, including strengthening resilience and preparedness for crises. Another key objective is to advocate the rights of children and young people and to increase wellbeing and inclusion in the Nordic Region.
The programme for the Presidency highlights cultural cooperation between the Nordic countries as well as cultural diversity, inclusiveness and equality.
The programme also emphasises safeguarding good educational standards and competence at all levels of education, multidisciplinary research, and decision-making that relies on research-based knowledge.
Various meetings and events will be organised during Finland's Presidency. More information on these will be posted on this page.
