Turku /Finland/, July 6 /Xinhua/ — Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, who arrived on a visit, pledged on Sunday to strengthen cooperation and coordination and jointly respond to challenges.
During the meeting with Wang Yi in the city of Turku, A. Stubb asked him to convey his best wishes to the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping. The president noted that the visit to China, which took place in October 2024, and the successful meeting with Xi Jinping made a profound and pleasant impression on him.
According to A. Stubba, since Finland and the PRC established diplomatic relations in 1950, China has achieved significant progress in areas such as politics, economy, social stability, as well as scientific and technological innovation, accomplishing a true miracle of development.
Noting that the international situation is at a critical turning point, A. Stubb said that China has brought valuable stability to the modern world. According to him, the four global initiatives put forward by Xi Jinping represent a comprehensive and insightful assessment of the international situation, as well as clear and consistent response plans that are of great significance to the international community.
Finland hopes to strengthen high-level contacts with China, expand cooperation in new areas such as the green economy and artificial intelligence, deepen multilateral coordination, and jointly address global challenges, emphasized A. Stubb.
Wan Yi conveyed greetings from the Chairman of the PRC to his interlocutor. In 2017, Xi Jinping made a state visit to Finland on the occasion of the country’s centenary of independence and extended sincere congratulations from the Chinese people to the Finnish people, he added.
According to Wang Yi, over more than 100 years of independence, the Finnish people, guided by their steadfast spirit of ‘sisu,’ have achieved national revival and development.
This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, which helped the Chinese people find a path to successful development suited to national conditions, created two miracles — rapid economic growth and long-term social stability, and also ensured the comprehensive modernization of the country through quality development, added the Foreign Minister.
Noting that the current international situation is full of chaos and upheaval, and that the world risks returning to the “law of the jungle,” Wang Yi stated that China will continue to play an important role in ensuring peace, stability, and development on the planet.
China is ready to work with Finland under the strategic leadership of the heads of state to maintain commitment to the new type of future-oriented China-Finland cooperative and partnership relations, jointly seize opportunities and respond to challenges, emphasized Wang Yi. –0–
