Suurlähettiläs Laura Davies on tyytyväinen Suomen ja Iso-Britannian väliseen sotilaalliseen kumppanuuteen, joka ei rajoitu pelkästään Nato-jäsenyyteen. Puolustuksellinen yhteistyö aloitettiin jo vuonna 2017, kun Suomi liittyi osaksi Iso-Britannian johtamaa JEF-yhteistyötä.

Did you know that @citylordmayor has the 🇫🇮 word “Sisu” on his coat of arms? This is probably the first time in a thousand years of British heraldry that someone has chosen a Finnish motto. We had the honour of hosting the Lord Mayor in Finland in June.
