President of the Republic of Finland Alexander Stubb will host the Kultaranta Talks on 13–14 June 2024 at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki. The foreign and security policy debate will focus on resetting Europe in the evolving world order.
Thursday 13 June is the international day of the event, discussing the future of Europe and its role in the global geopolitical arena. There will be three panels looking at Europe from different perspectives. The panels will examine European foreign and security policy, both in relation to global changes and in the light of tensions and dynamics within Europe.
The second day’s programme on Friday 14 June will deal with Finland’s foreign and security policy. The three panels will feature Finnish experts discussing Finland’s role as part of the Global West and Finland’s future as part of the changes in the wider world order.
About a hundred participants from various sectors of society have been invited to the event. Participants include national and international policymakers, researchers as well as representatives of public administration, trade and industry, civil society organisations and the media. The event will take place at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, as the park and main building of the Presidential Summer Residence Kultaranta in Naantali will be out of use until autumn 2024 due to renovations.
The Finnish Broadcasting Company will broadcast the event live on Yle TV1 and Yle Areena.
