*[Enwl-eng] pls sign for new OSCE summit

[ENWLine]

Dear friends of peace in Russia

In 2025, it will be 50 years since the CSCE/OSCE Final Act was signed in Helsinki.

For this reason, the President of Finland, Sauli Niinistö, has proposed to hold a new summit of major powers in the spirit of the CSCE. The President believes that a new summit could calm the growing tensions between the major powers.

Niinistö believes that in this situation Finland could have the capacity to act as a mediator because the country has a direct discussion relationship with all major powers.

The Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has expressed support for the proposal.

In January 2021, Sweden took over the chairmanship of the OSCE. Foreign Minister Ann Linde then stated that Sweden will during the year work to strengthen the organization's important role in contributing to security in the region.

We have compiled a letter in support of the holding of a new summit. (See attachment)

We will send it out to the governments and parliaments of Finland, Sweden, all other countries in the Baltic Sea region and to the media. The letter will also be sent to the leaders of the major powers and the OSCE.

If the summit project progresses, we hope to be able to organize some kind of shadow event for non-governmental organizations.

We sincerely hope that you personally or your organization will sign the letter of support before 28.5.2021 by notifying Ulla Klötzer (ullak...@yahoo.com)

- Name of the organization/Your name

- email adress

We have now over 100 signatures (around 70 organisations are from Germany). (pls see the list of signatures up till now attached)

We really need names from Russia!

We also hope that you via your networks will forward the invitation to sign the letter.

Hoping for your support for the project,

Lea Launokari, Women for Peace – Finland (lea.la...@nettilinja.fi)
