“The German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop has concluded his visit to the Finnish Government.
During this visit questions of interest to Finland and Germany were discussed, especially Finland’s expressed desire with respect to military aid. The German Government has declared itself prepared to comply with this wish of the Finnish Government.
The discussions which were conducted between the President of the Finnish Republic Ryti and Foreign Minister Ramsay on one side and the German Foreign Minister on the other, are sustained by the spirit which has its roots in the comradeship in arms between the armies and the existing friendship between the two peoples.
Complete agreement and understanding were reached on all points between the Finnish Government and the German Government.”
