Helsinki, August 15 The world’s top mobile phone maker Nokia has hired former Finnish prime minister Esko Aho as the firm’s new head of corporate relations, the company said today.

Nokia said in a statement Aho, who was centrist prime minister in 1991-1995, would begin at the company in the beginning of November. His predecessor Veli Sundbaeck will retire next year and Aho will also take his seat on Nokia’s executive board in 2009.

Another former prime minister, Paavo Lipponen of the Social Democratic Party, has meanwhile been appointed independent advisor for Nord Stream, the company said.
