00:00Presidente Ministro, Dersauli,
00:03It is a special honor to welcome you here on this historic day,
00:09as Finland becomes the 31st member of NATO.
00:14In a few moments, we will raise the Finnish flag at the NATO headquarters for the first time.
00:21From today, 31 flags will fly together, a symbol of our unity and our solidarity.
00:33Joining NATO is good for Finland, it is good for Nordic security, and it's good for NATO as a whole.
00:42Finland brings substantial and highly capable forces,
00:47expertise on national resilience and years of experience working side by side with NATO allies.
00:57I am deeply proud to welcome Finland as a full-fledged member of our alliance.
01:04And I look forward to also welcoming Sweden as soon as possible.
