Finland–Pakistan relations refer to the bilateral relations between Finland and Pakistan. The relations were established on 12 January 1951,[1] and for many years they were mostly focused on trade and economic co-operation.

## Diplomatic missions

[edit]

There is no embassy of Pakistan in Finland, but Finnish residents may receive consular services from the Embassy of Pakistan in Stockholm.[2]

The Finnish Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, was closed in August 2012 due to budget cuts by the government[3] but reopened officially on 1 September 2022. Current Ambassador, H.E. Hannu Ripatti had his credential ceremony with the President of Pakistan, Dr. Arif Alvi on October 3, 2022 in Islamabad, Pakistan, continuing to run the Embassy of Finland in Pakistan after a ten years break.[citation needed]

For 2012-2022, Finland had a Roving Ambassador to South-Asia who was also in charge of the Pakistan-relations, with an emphasis on developing economic co-operation, with an office in Helsinki at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.[4]

## Business cooperation

[edit]

The Finland Pakistan Business Council is an organisation established in 1985, registered in both Finland and Pakistan with the purpose of enhancing trade and business relationships between the two countries.[5] Although historically bilateral trade has been rather moderate, more and more Finnish businesses are interested in the Pakistani market. A number of notable Finnish companies are present there.[6]

Finland Pakistan Business Summit is a set of B2B event held in Pakistan and Finland since 2014. The latest events took place in Islamabad and Karachi in March 2023 and the next one is scheduled to be hosted in Karachi in February 2024.[citation needed]
