Finnish-Arab Friendship Society FAFS (Arabikansojen Ystävyysseura, AKYS) was founded in 1976 to promote friendly relations and mutual understanding between the Finnish and Arab people.
The Society carries out solidarity activities for people afflicted by wars and power struggles between foreign powers and strives to promote peaceful solutions to crises in the region by influencing domestic and international actors and organizing civil activities. In particular, the Society supports the people of Palestine in its struggle to liberate itself from the decades-long exile and illegal occupation.
