Mikko Karna, one of the country's most important deputies, has said he intends to file a motion in the Finnish parliament, recognising the new country on the European continent.
Karna, who is part of the ruling party led by Prime Minister Juha Sypila, also sent his congratulations to Catalonia after the regional parliament voted for the secession from the rest of Spain.
