The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Finland`s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen, will arrive today in Georgia.

She visits Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia from 13 to 15 October for meetings with high-level government officials, as well as representatives of civil society and think tanks.

In Tbilisi, meetings will focus on Georgia`s internal and external challenges, with a focus on the continued support of the OSCE to the Geneva International Discussions to address the consequences of the 2008 war.

Finland, as Chair of the OSCE in 2025, places strong importance on safeguarding civic space and ensuring an enabling environment for civil society. This priority will be underlined throughout the visit.
