She was accompanied by the Education and Science Counsellor of the Embassy of Finland in Pretoria, South Africa, Miss IIna Soiri, and a delegation. Interviewed after her meeting, Ambassador Lammila indicated that she is currently on a four-day visit to Mauritius and looks forward to having discussions pertaining to commercial and educational areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Finnish Ambassador highlighted that present and future areas of collaboration between the two countries were elaborated during the courtesy call.<\/p>\n

According to her, working with Mauritius which is nearly equal in size to Finland and recognised as an African hub of education, seems very promising.<\/p>\n

Mrs Lamilla, moreover, spoke of the intention of delving into opportunities present locally for Finish companies to engage in business, which, according to her, will prove to be beneficial for both countries.<\/p>\n

About Ambassador Lammila Ambassador Lammila has been the Head of Mission at the Embassy of Finland in Pretoria since November 2020, and in May 2021, was appointed as a Non-Resident Ambassador to Mauritius.<\/p>\n
