As Slawek Szefs reports, it is also the first Polish consular mission in the Arctic Circle region.

Radoslaw Sikorski, Poland’s Parliamentary Speaker and former head of diplomacy who was present during the ceremony, pointed to the numerous historic as well as geographic connections between Poland and Finland.

“We have the longest land borders of the EU, including an important partner of the Union such as Russia, which means that we view some things in a similar manner,” Sikorski stated.

Next year Poland is launching its GoArctica program with an aim of encouraging Polish entrepreneurs to invest in the region.
