The two Prime Ministers agreed on measures to enhance bilateral cooperation and address security issues in the Baltic region.
According to a press release from the Finnish government, the two sides discussed expanding trade, security and defense cooperation, as well as cross-cutting cooperation in the Nordic and Baltic regions in the current geopolitical context. The two leaders also discussed concerns regarding asylum seekers at their respective borders, and both countries are looking to strengthen cybersecurity.
The enlargement of the European Union (EU), the medium-term revision of the bloc's long-term financial framework and the EU's strategic agenda for the next five years were also topics of the talks.
Finland has temporarily closed all but one of its eight passenger border crossings to Russia to stem the unusually high flow of migrants that the Nordic country blames on Moscow.
More than 700 migrants from countries such as Yemen, Afghanistan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia and Syria have crossed into Finland via Russia in recent weeks.
