Chinese President Starts State Visit to Finland
Chinese President Xi Jinping
Helsinki - Arab Today
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Helsinki Wednesday on a state visit to Finland aimed at advancing bilateral ties, increasing political mutual trust and expanding substantial cooperation. It is the first visit by a Chinese head of state to the country in 22 years.
During his stay in Helsinki, Xi will hold talks with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, and meet with Prime Minister Juha Sipila and Speaker of the Finnish Parliament Maria Lohela, Chinese news agency (Xinhua) reported.
Finland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China, and the first Western nation to sign an intergovernmental trade agreement with China.
Currently, Finland is China's third largest trading partner in the Nordic region, while China has been Finland's biggest trading partner in Asia for 14 years. After Finland, the Chinese president will travel to Florida, the United States, for his first meeting with US President Donald Trump on Thursday and Friday.
