32:59Now PlayingAppointed as Finland's top diplomat just as the country finalized its historic NATO accession, Elina Valtonen was immediately tested by a border crisis with Russia. Since then, she's reshaped Finland's foreign policy, forged a major defense pact with the US, and emerged as a leading voice in support of Ukraine. Praised across party lines, Valtonen is the current chair of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and travels extensively to advance Finland's strategic agenda.
The former investment banker sits down with Reuters Helsinki bureau chief Anne Kauranen to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine, Europe's defense ambitions, and other pressing security challenges.
