Dish you miss the most when you are away from home? The fresh Finnish ingredients and seasonal treats like wild berries and mushrooms, as well as fish. Luckily our executive chef at the embassy, Petri Hotti, is specialized in organic and local food. We now have our own vegetable garden at the ambassador’s residence, just like the White House! The fresh herbs from our own garden taste just like back home.
Languages you speak? My mother tongue is Finnish, and I have learned the other official language of Finland, Swedish, as well as English, German and French at school. At home I speak Dutch with my husband who is from the Netherlands. Top issue on your agenda? The U.S. and Finland have an excellent relationship. We partner in various foreign and security policy issues, including advancing global development and fighting climate change, as discussed between President Obama and the Nordic leaders last year. At the moment we have a strong focus on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which is being negotiated between the E.U. and the U.S. This partnership has great potential to boost economic growth and to create more jobs, and naturally we want to explore ways to bolster trade and investment bilaterally between the U.S. and Finland.
