Foreign Minister Haavisto and Secretary of State Blinken signed a Joint Statement on Cooperation in Advanced Wireless Communications

Finland and the United States have confirmed their common ambition to cooperate in key areas of 6G research and development and to increase interaction between Finnish and US actors. Finland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto and United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken have signed a Joint Statement on Cooperation in Advanced Wireless Communications between Finland and the United States in Helsinki on 2 June.

Finland is a pioneer of 6G development. In 2018, Finland was the first country to launch an extensive 6G research programme. Finnish expertise in 6G will create new opportunities both commercially and politically. Close international cooperation is needed to make the most of it.
