President Sauli Niinistö will attend a meeting on support for Ukraine on Monday in Paris, said the President Office in a press release on Sunday.

The meeting will be hosted by President of France Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée Palace.

Heads of State and Government from several European countries will take part in the meeting to discuss and find common ways to support Ukraine more effectively.

The President was visiting Windhoek to attend the state funeral of late President of Namibia Hage G. Geingob on Saturday and Sunday.

“An honour to attend the funeral of President Hage G. Geingob in Namibia and pay tribute to his remarkable life. President Geingob was a great Namibian, a determined statesman and citizen of the world. And he left a legacy of close friendship with Finland,” Niinistö wrote in a post in his social media platform X on Saturday.
