Minister for Foreign Affairs Timo Soini considers that the ability of Jarmo Viinanen, Ambassador of Finland to Stockholm, to carry out his duties is impaired to the extent that Ambassador Viinanen should be transferred to the Ministry in a accelerated schedule. More detailed information of further measures will be communicated after the matter has been discussed by the Government and at the Presidential session. The Foreign Minister's statement is based on an internal audit related to wellbeing at work and management, performed at the Embassy of Finland in Stockholm.
