Finnish-Norwegian relations

Finland	Norway

Finland–Norway relations are theforeign relations betweenFinland andNorway. The states share theFinland-Norway border.

Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1917, afterFinland's independence. Finland has an embassy inOslo. Norway has an embassy inHelsinki.

For some decades surrounding 1900, many in Norway feared the Finnish immigration andKven people inNorthern Norway, coining the term "the Finnish danger". For a period, interests in Norway wanted to annex parts ofLapland (most notably the "arm" protruding from the north-west and intoStorfjord Municipality) as buffer zones. The controversy around Finns in Norway subsided over time, and the land claim never evolved into open conflict.^[1]

Both countries are full members of theNordic Council,Council of the Baltic Sea States,Joint Expeditionary Force,NATO and of theCouncil of Europe.

There are around 2,000Norwegians living in Finland and around 6,665Finns (15-60,000 including Kvens) living in Norway.^[2]
