France–Finland relations are foreign relations between France and Finland. France was one of the first countries which recognised Finland's independence on 4 January 1918. Diplomatic relations between them were established on 24 January 1918. Both countries are full members of the European Union and NATO. According to a 2005 BBC World Service Poll, 48% of Finns view French influence positively, with 26% expressing a negative view.[1] There are an estimated 7,000 Finns living in France. Both countries are members of the Council of Europe, European Union, NATO, and Eurozone. France strongly supported Finland's NATO membership during the latter's accession process.
