DISINFO: Rumours that Finland is already officially in Nato, it is a secret agreement

SUMMARY

There are rumours that Finland is already officially in Nato and that it is a secret agreement.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. Finland is not in NATO. Cooperation has been reinforced over the years since Finland joined NATO’s Partnership for Peace in 1994 and became a member of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997. www.nato.int/cps/ic/natohq/topics_49594.htm#,
