Chinese President Xi Jinping is paying a state visit to Finland from Tuesday to Thursday, which is hailed by Finnish media as the year's most significant visit.
Finland established diplomatic relations with China on October 28, 1950, making it among the first Western countries that recognized the newly-founded People’s Republic of China in the diplomatic arena.
In the economic field, China has remained Finland’s biggest trade partner in Asia for 14 years. Finland is China’s third-biggest trade partner in Nordic Europe, with bilateral trade volume reaching 6.36 billion US dollars in 2016.
China and Finland have also signed various agreements to deepen cooperation in trade and commerce, education and communication over the past decades.
