My team and I are in Helsinki, Finland where we have held meetings with the Regional Mayor of Northern Savo, Tytti Määttä.
The Mayor of Lisalmi, Jarmo Ronkainen; and the Director of Ylä-Savo Federation of Education, Kari Puumalainen.

We also held two other meetings with the Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Mrs Aulikki Hulmi.
The Finland MTK (Central Union of Agriculture Producers and Forest Owners); and the Food and Forest Development Finland (FFD) on bilateral technical support for developing our forest economy and international trade.
