Erkki Tuomioja, a Finnish Social Democrat MP and a former foreign minister, said Tuesday he would return to broadcasting after a 40-year break.

Mr Tuomioja added on his website that he would be a co-presenter of a book programme on MTV3.

The programme is to begin airing in late April.

Mr Tuomioja worked as a current affairs programme presenter before winning a seat in Parliament in the 1970 general election.
