Finnish-Hungarian relations are foreign relations between Finland and Hungary. They enjoy close diplomatic relations, which have traditionally been friendly due to cultural, religious and historical ties between the two nations. Both people’s language are part of the Finno-Ugric language family.
History
Before independence
At the end of the 19th century the Finno-Ugric linguistic affinity became widely accepted after extensive public debate.
Independence
Hungary recognized Finland on August 23, 1920. Finland recognised Hungary on September 10, 1920.

When the Winter War broke out between Finland and the Soviet Union, many Hungarians felt great sympathy towards the Finns and wanted to help them.[1]
The Hungarian government officially did not support Finland, but secretly started searching for ways of helping.[2] In addition, non-governmental organisations began to organize support for Finland. Hungary helped Finland by giving monetary donations, armaments and military volunteers.
After the loss of Continuation War, Finland discontinued diplomatic relations on September 20, 1944.[3]
Post World War II
