Finland's recent lifting of its longstanding ban on allowing nuclear arms into the country is intended to maximize its deterrence and does not automatically mean such weapons will enter its territory, the Finnish ambassador to Japan said in a recent interview.
Finland, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), implemented a revised law this month that allows it to bring nuclear weapons into the country. Ambassador Jaaskeläinen told Kyodo News on the 8th that the measure was "to remove legal obstacles to national defense and maximize deterrence."
