  1. “To conclude, let me once again thank you, Madam President, and your Government for your leadership in promoting resolution 1540 (2004). Finland looks forward to the comprehensive report that the 1540 Committee will submit to the Security Council in 2016. We hope that we will be able to offer some of our ideas and experiences and that they will be useful to the Committee in its preparatory work.”

  2. “The previous plenary was hosted with success by the Government of Mexico in 2013, and we strive to reach the same high standard as Mexico did in organizing our meeting. The priorities of the GICNT include nuclear detection, nuclear forensics and response and mitigation work. Our own national experience shows that sharing best practices and participating in exercises in the framework of the GICNT is useful and in our interest. I want to extend our thanks to the Republic of Korea for taking over the demanding task of coordinating the work of the GICNT in its Implementation and Assessment Group. Currently, 85 partner nations are involved in GICNT cooperation. We very warmly welcome those States who have not yet joined the Initiative to Helsinki next year.”

  3. “I want to recognize here the role of the Stimson Center, which is based in Washington, DC, in designing that innovative model and applying it to projects that serve non-proliferation objectives. Finland has supported the work of the Stimson Center in advancing the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). The Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) is one of the efforts that serve the goals of resolution 1540 (2004). Finland is pleased that the GICNT takes place in good cooperation with permanent international organizations. The United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency and INTERPOL are actively involved in the GICNT as official observers. Finland has agreed to host its next plenary meeting in Helsinki in June 2015.”

  4. “Nearly 200 health security experts from over 30 countries gathered in Finland to discuss that initiative, which is relevant to the topic being discussed today. The aim is to strengthen our ability to prevent, detect and respond to emerging infectious diseases, whatever the cost. As a second example, we would mention that resources to detect the movement of terrorists across borders can also help in combating human trafficking, and vice-versa. Improving non-proliferation capacities in that way will also address other needs in a given country. On the basis of such a strategy with multiple benefits, we can promote both goals - security and development - with our partners.”

  5. “Finland is one of the seven regularly reporting Member States that has submitted five voluntary reports on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) since 2004. In addition, Finland contributes to non-proliferation projects and cooperative activities in various regions, ranging from Latin America to East Asia. That effort is mainly based on a multi-benefit principle in allocating and using scarce resources. I will give just two examples, the first of which is that measures that facilitate the detection of and response to biological weapons will also improve disease surveillance and other national public health capacities. In that context, earlier this week Finland hosted the Helsinki Commitment Development Meeting as a part of the Global Health Security Agenda.”

  6. “It is my pleasure to thank the Republic of Korea for organizing such a timely and important event. Promoting the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) is a priority in managing all kinds of threats that result from the existence and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Finland fully aligns itself with the statement of the European Union and would like to add a couple of remarks from a national perspective. I will introduce the multi-benefit model used in our non-proliferation work and extend to all countries present an invitation to the next plenary of the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism. International cooperation to implement common decisions starts at home.”
