China is ready to work with Finland to uphold the spirit of open and inclusive cooperation, seize cooperation opportunities in green transition, explore avenues for innovative development, further deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote deeper, more solid China-Finland and China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

Alexander Stubb said that Finland-China economic and trade relations enjoy a solid foundation, and China is one of Finland's most important export markets with broad prospects for development. Finland will actively support enterprises in investing and deepening their presence in China. Chinese enterprises are welcome to invest and do business in Finland.
