Helsinki will chair the European Council meetings in Brussels and Luxembourg, as well as the informal meetings of the EU Ministers in Finland.
In addition, over 90 meetings of different working groups and experts will take place during this period.
Speaking to the national parliament last week, Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne, said that the presidency will have priority to make progress in tackling climate change and adopting environmental measures.
Finland will also seek to uphold common European values such as the rule of law, human rights, equality and democracy, Rinne said.
