Finnish-Mexican relations are diplomatic relations between Finland and Mexico. Both nations are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations.

History

On 13 July 1920, Mexico recognized the independence of Finland from Russia. On 2 October 1936, Finland and Mexico signed a Treaty of Friendship in Washington, D.C. which officially established diplomatic relations between both nations. In December 1939, during the Winter War, Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas sent a message of solidarity to the Finnish people.[1]

In 1949, a few years after the end of World War II, Finland and Mexico formally accredited ambassadors to each other's nations, respectively. The first Mexican embassy accredited to Finland was based in Stockholm, Sweden while the first Finnish embassy to Mexico was based in Washington, DC. In 1964, resident embassies were established in each other's capitals, respectively.[1] In February 1999, President Martti Ahtisaari became the first Finnish head-of-state to pay a visit to Mexico. In 2016, both nations celebrated 80 years of diplomatic relations and announced direct flights between Helsinki and Puerto Vallarta with Finnair which commenced in November 2017.[2]
