Addressing the opening of a course organized by the National Defence Training Association (MPK) on Monday, President Sauli Niinistö said that once it becomes a Nato member, Finland has no intention of bringing nuclear weapons onto its territory, and there are no signs that anyone is offering nuclear arms to Finland, APA reports citing Yle television company.
