Finland has announced plans to close its embassies in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Myanmar by 2026 as part of a broader restructuring of its foreign mission network. The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs stated that the decision was driven by operational and strategic considerations, including shifting political conditions in the respective countries and limited trade and economic ties with Finland. The closures will be enacted through a presidential decree, according to an official government notice issued on November 29. The ministry emphasized that the move aims to concentrate Finland’s diplomatic resources in countries deemed strategically more significant. No immediate responses were reported from the governments of Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Myanmar regarding Finland’s decision. The restructuring reflects Finland’s ongoing efforts to optimize its diplomatic presence globally amid evolving geopolitical and economic priorities.
