HELSINKI: Finland’s conservative National Coalition Party, the winner of April’s general election, on Sunday unveiled its picks for key Cabinet posts in the upcoming government that observers say is set to be the most right-wing in the Nordic country's recent history.
The 41-year-old will be Finland’s second female top diplomat after Tarja Halonen, who served in the late 1990s before she was elected Finland’s first female president in 2000. The new government’s two junior partners - the Christian Democrats and the Swedish People’s Party of Finland - will share the rest of the Cabinet posts.
