Letter of congratulations from President Charles Michel to Sanna Marin on her appointment as Prime Minister of Finland

Met dank overgenomen van Europese Raad i, gepubliceerd op dinsdag 10 december 2019.

Allow me to convey, on behalf of the European Union, my warmest congratulations on your appointment as Prime Minister of Finland.

I am confident that you will successfully steer Finland's Council Presidency to the end of its term and continue to play a constructive role in the European Union. As you know, we are facing a number of crucial challenges, not least our future budget and our common fight against climate change.

I look forward to us working together during your new mandate and to welcoming you to the December European Council on Thursday.

I wish you every success in your new role.
