History

Before independence

At the end of the 19th century the Finno-Ugric linguistic affinity became widely accepted after extensive public debate.

Independence

Hungary recognized Finland on August 23, 1920. Finland recognised Hungary on September 10, 1920.

World War II

When the Winter War broke out between Finland and the Soviet Union, many Hungarians felt great sympathy towards the Finns and wanted to help them.[1]

The Hungarian government officially did not support Finland, but secretly started searching for ways of helping.[2] In addition, non-governmental organisations began to organize support for Finland. Hungary helped Finland by giving monetary donations, armaments and military volunteers.

After the loss of Continuation War, Finland discontinued diplomatic relations on September 20, 1944.[3]

Post World War II

Diplomatic relations were re-established on May 20, 1947. Finland has an embassy in Budapest and an honorary consulate in Pécs. Hungary has an embassy in Helsinki and 4 honorary consulates (in Turku, Mariehamn, Tampere and Joensuu). Both countries are full members of the European Union and NATO.
