Puolustusdialogissa

Puolustusdialogissa is a Finnish term that translates to "defense dialogue" or "dialogue on defense." It refers to discussions, debates, and consultations related to national defense policies, strategies, and capabilities within Finland. These dialogues can involve a wide range of stakeholders, including politicians, military leaders, defense industry representatives, academics, and the general public.

The purpose of puolustusdialogissa is to foster a shared understanding of the security environment, identify national defense needs, and explore various options for meeting those needs. It can encompass a broad spectrum of topics, such as military procurement, conscription, reserve forces, cyber defense, international cooperation in defense, and the role of the Finnish Defense Forces in society.
