芬兰外交部“桑拿外交”获肯定
<p>本周一，芬兰桑拿协会向芬兰外交部颁发“蒸汽精神奖”，肯定了芬兰外交官向全世界推广桑拿文化并利用“桑拿外交”协调国际关系的成就。桑拿协会主席表示，驻世界各地的芬兰外交官都在利用使馆内的桑拿房开展外交活动，让更多人了解到芬兰文化的实质。桑拿是芬兰文化的重要组成部分，家庭、社会甚至政治生活都少不了它。上世纪70年代，就曾有总统在桑拿房召开外交会议。如今，芬兰派往不同国家的维和部队也都会在驻地修建桑拿房。芬兰外交部一名发言人表示，桑拿是芬兰外交活动中不可或缺的一部分，桑拿房是建立国际友谊、商讨协议和理想场所。</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="humble">humble</span> <span word="wood">wood</span>-<span word="fired">fired</span> <span word="sauna">sauna</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cornerstone">cornerstone</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Finnish">Finnish</span> <span word="culture">culture</span>.</p><p><span word="Finland">Finland</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="foreign">foreign</span> <span word="ministry">ministry</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="Monday">Monday</span> <span word="won">won</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Steam">Steam</span> <span word="Spirit">Spirit</span> <span word="Prize">Prize</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="promoting">promoting</span> <span word="sauna">sauna</span> <span word="culture">culture</span> <span word="abroad">abroad</span>, <span word="organisers">organisers</span> <span word="said">said</span>, <span word="hailing">hailing</span> <span word="Finnish">Finnish</span> <span word="diplomats">diplomats</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="using">using</span> <span word="saunas">saunas</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="forge">forge</span> <span word="international">international</span> <span word="relations">relations</span>.</p><p>"<span word="The">The</span> <span word="prize">prize</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="given">given</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deed">deed</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="person">person</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="event">event</span> <span word="promoting">promoting</span> <span word="sauna">sauna</span> <span word="culture">culture</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="recipient">recipient</span> <span word="meets">meets</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="these">these</span> <span word="criteria">criteria</span>," <span word="Sauna">Sauna</span> <span word="Society">Society</span> <span word="chairman">chairman</span> <span word="Ben">Ben</span> <span word="Grass">Grass</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="statement">statement</span>.</p><p>"<span word="Through">Through</span> <span word="diplomacy">diplomacy</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ministry">ministry</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="fundamental">fundamental</span> <span word="contribution">contribution</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="increasing">increasing</span> <span word="awareness">awareness</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="essence">essence</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="being">being</span> <span word="Finnish">Finnish</span>," <span word="he">he</span> <span word="said">said</span>, <span word="hailing">hailing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="Finnish">Finnish</span> <span word="diplomats">diplomats</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="world">world</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="embassy">embassy</span> <span word="saunas">saunas</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="place">place</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="diplomatic">diplomatic</span> "<span word="deeds">deeds</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="events">events</span>".</p>
