President Hage Geingob has departed for Helsinki, Finland, to attend the state funeral of former Finish President Martti Ahtissari.

Ahtissari’s relationship with Namibia began when the former Finish leader was appointed as a senator to the Council of the United Nations Institute for Namibia (UNIN) in 1975.
