From round table discussions to an action plan • Close cooperation and open dialogue between the parties can culminate in mutual benefits. • Finnish Ministry of Employment and Economy has carried out a round table discussion on “Making Finland a leader in sustainable extractive industry”. • The action plan would be useful for other countries who want to develop the extractive industry and mining in a sustainable way.
