    SUBJECT: NEW SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT BREAKS WITH THE PAST

    Classified By: polchief Greg Thome, reasons 1.5 (b) (d).

    ¶1. (SBU) SUMMARY: During their first meeting, new Speaker
    of Parliament Niinisto and the Ambassador discussed NATO
    issues and the EU's approach to Russia.  The Speaker spoke
    warmly both of the new tone in Finnish-US relations and of
    the "more open dialogue on NATO" his party intends to lead
    now that it is in government.  The Ambassador urged greater
    funding for peacekeeping operations, and asked that
    Parliament ratify two bilateral legal assistance treaties.
    The meeting made clear that Parliament's leader fully
    shares the GOF's goal of improving both the tone and the
    substance of the US-Finnish relationship.  END SUMMARY.

    Niinisto: A New Tone, A New NATO Dialogue
    -----------------------------------------
    ¶2. (SBU) On May 11, Ambassador Ware made her first call on
    Sauli Niinisto in his capacity as new Speaker of
    Parliament.  Niinisto opened by assuring the Ambassador
    that both the new GOF and the new Parliament intended to
    improve the tone and the substance of the bilateral
    relationship.  The most visible changes will come in the
    areas of foreign and security policy and foreign policy.
    "We are saying goodbye to the shadows of the 1960s," he
    said, and from the US point of view this should mean more
    transparency on issues of importance to Washington.

    ¶3. (SBU) Niinisto said that Finland was eager to establish
    a better relationship with the US and a "more open dialogue
    on NATO."  Previously, Finnish journalists and politicians
    attacked those who favored Finland's joining NATO, using
    support for NATO membership as a political weapon, he
    said.  Now, however, "that weapon no longer works."  As for
    the bilateral relationship, Parliament intends to match the
    improved tone and substance that Government has called for
    with the US.  The Speaker noted with pleasure that
    Parliament's American Friendship Caucus had already re-
    emerged, and he thanked Poloffs for briefing its members
    May 11.  He also specifically asked for more congressional
    delegations to Finland; more informal trips to the US such
    as the Pennsylvania trip the Embassy organized last year
    for the Finnish Foreign Affairs Committee; and frequent
    discussions with the Embassy to include a regular Speaker-
    Ambassador meeting.

    Bilateral Treaties and More PKO Funds
    -------------------------------------
    ¶4. (SBU) The Ambassador welcomed Niinisto's enthusiasm for
    revitalizing the bilateral relationship and suggested two
    concrete steps Parliament could take at this early stage.
    First, she urged ratification of a bilateral extradition
    treaty and a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT), both of
    which have awaited Parliamentary action since 2005.
    Niinisto assured her he would look in to both.  Second, she
    reminded the Speaker of the great value the US places on
    Finnish contributions to NATO and other international
    crisis management operations, and urged even greater
    participation.  Niinisto responded by noting that
    Parliament's was not the only voice that influenced
    budgetary priorities, but he expressed his pride in the
    work and reputation of Finnish peacekeepers and said he
    would do what he could to strengthen their efforts
    worldwide.

    The Russia Challenge
    --------------------
    ¶5. (SBU) Turning to shared regional challenges, Niinisto
    said that the EU's strategic partnership is extremely
    important but that, unfortunately, it has reached a
    difficult impasse.  He agreed with the Ambassador that
    Moscow appears engaged in a rising trend of unsettling
    behavior.  However, Niinisto also noted that the EU's
    dependence on Russian energy and its inability to formulate
    a unified energy policy to protect its own interests
    exacerbate the problem.  Niinisto and the Ambassador also
    agreed that in addition to Russia, the US and EU needed to
    work together to address challenges in China and India --
    again especially in the area of energy.

    Comment
    -------
    ¶6. (C) The Ambassador's first meeting with Niinisto in his
    capacity as Speaker made clear that Parliament fully shares
    the GOF's goal of improving both the tone and the substance
    of the US-Finnish relationship.  In particular, his
    "shadows of the 1960s" comment was a clear attempt to
    distance himself and the new government from President
    Halonen, former FM Erkki Tuomioja and others on the left
    wing of the Social Democratic Party, which dominated
    Finnish politics for the past 4 years.  Halonen and
    Tuomioja are products of the European anti-Americanism that
    accompanied the Vietnam War, and many Finns -- including
    Niinisto -- have criticized them for being unable to move
    beyond their "student activism" days and for allowing their
    unreconstructed anti-US radicalism to influence unduly
    their foreign policy decisions today.  END COMMENT.
