The Honorary Consulate of Finland is an extension of Finland's diplomatic activities beyond its standard network of embassies and consulates. The Honorary Consulate appoints private individuals (usually Finns living abroad or people of Finnish descent) to serve as a diplomatic and cultural liaison on a part-time, volunteer basis.
