Finnish-South African relations are foreign relations between Finland and South Africa. Diplomatic relations established May 15, 1949. A South African legation was established in 1967 and relations were then upgraded to ambassadorial level in March 1991.[2] Finland has an embassy in Pretoria, a general consulate in Johannesburg and a consulate in Cape Town. South Africa is accredited to Finland from its embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.[3]

South Africa supported Finland during the Winter War and supplied 25 Gloster Gauntlets to the Finnish air force.[4] During World War II South Africa, along with other Commonwealth nations, declared war on Finland.[5]

Finland was critical of South Africa's official policy of neutrality following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and called for South Africa to support Ukraine.[6]

Agreements

In 2008 South Africa and Finland signed a cooperation agreement to support biosciences projects in the Southern African Development Community.[7]

Apartheid

Finland was a strong supporter of the dismantling of Apartheid in South Africa.[5][8][9]

Trade

Between 1925 and 1939, Finland was the largest source of imported timber for South Africa.[10]

South Africa exports to Finland fresh and dried fruits, wine, pulp, paper, iron, steel and coal. South Africa imports telecommunication equipment, paper, board products, and machinery from Finland.[2][5]
