On the afternoon of the [specific date], President Xi Jinping held talks with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, who was on a state visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. President Xi noted that Finland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with New China and the first Western country to sign a government-to-government trade agreement with China. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Finland have consistently maintained friendly relations, mutual respect, and mutual trust, setting an example of equal interaction between nations that transcends historical, cultural, and institutional differences.

Currently, the accelerated evolution of the world's century-long transformation has led to an increase in the risks and challenges faced by human society. Against this backdrop, the unique value of the future-oriented new type of cooperative partnership between China and Finland becomes even more pronounced, worthy of being cherished and further promoted. China is willing to work together with Finland to strengthen strategic cooperation, carry forward the tradition of friendship, further advance the future-oriented new type of cooperative partnership between China and Finland, better benefit the two countries and their peoples, and make new contributions to world peace and development.

Xi Jinping emphasized that the long-term healthy and stable development of China-Finland relations is primarily due to the two countries' consistent adherence to mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefit, as well as their consideration of each other's core interests and major concerns. The pragmatic cooperation between China and Finland has a long history, abundant achievements, and great potential. The recently held Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made systematic arrangements for further comprehensively deepening reforms and advancing the Chinese modernization, which will bring new impetus and opportunities to China-Finland cooperation and global development. The Chinese side welcomes Finland's active participation in the process of Chinese modernization, expanding cooperation in emerging industries such as green transformation, information technology, digital economy, artificial intelligence, and new energy, to jointly build a new pattern of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries in the new era.

China is willing to further expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges with Finland and has decided to include Finland in the unilateral visa exemption policy, welcoming more Finnish friends to come to China for business, tourism, and study. President Xi Jinping pointed out that both China and Finland are advocates of peace and support multilateralism and free trade. China is willing to enhance communication and cooperation with Finland on issues such as climate change response, biodiversity conservation, global sustainable development, and artificial intelligence governance, working together to maintain world peace and stability and to promote the construction of a more equitable and orderly multipolar world and an inclusive and beneficial economic globalization.

Next year marks the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. We hope that Finland will continue to play a positive role in promoting the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations, achieving mutual promotion and common development of China-Finland relations and China-EU relations.

President Stubb stated that he is very happy to visit China shortly after taking office and to meet with President Xi Jinping again after many years. Since then, the world situation has undergone significant changes. China has achieved astonishing development accomplishments. Over the years of diplomatic relations, Finland and China have always respected each other, treated each other sincerely, engaged in equal dialogue, maintained good development in bilateral relations, continuously expanded cooperation areas, and achieved fruitful results.

Finland adheres to the One-China principle and is willing to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with China next year together, closely engage in high-level exchanges, expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and deepen practical cooperation in areas such as trade and economy, green energy, and sustainable development. Finland appreciates China's commitment to the principle of equality among all countries, big or small, in international relations, and commends President Xi Jinping's major initiatives and concepts for addressing various global challenges in today's world. Finland values China's significant influence and its stabilizing and constructive role in international affairs, and is willing to strengthen multilateral communication and collaboration with China to contribute to world peace and stability.

The economies of Europe and China are closely intertwined, and "decoupling" or "new Cold War" does not serve the interests of any party. Finland is willing to play a positive role in promoting the smooth development of EU-China relations. Both sides also exchanged in-depth views on issues such as the Ukraine crisis and the Israel-Palestine conflict. Xi Jinping elaborated on China's principled stance, expressing the willingness to work together with relevant parties, including Finland, to continue playing a positive role in promoting peaceful resolution of the crises.
