Chinese President Xi Jinping met with his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto in Helsinki on Wednesday, with both leaders agreeing to advance free trade and fight protectionism.
Experts said the meeting, which came a day ahead of Xi's meeting with US President Donald Trump in Florida, showed China's status in global governance is rising as the new US administration creates uncertainty among globalization advocates.
China and Finland agreed Wednesday to establish and promote a future-oriented ""new type"" cooperative partnership Nike Air VaporMax Utility Soldes , with both sides pledging to enhance political mutual trust and deepen pragmatic cooperation, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Xi said that both countries' developments are highly complementary, and should reinforce the political basis of bilateral ties and mutually support each other's development, Xinhua reported.
After meeting with Xi, Niinisto told media that ""The Finnish and Chinese governments agreed to advance free trade and fight protectionism,"" and he also said the two countries are working on ""combating climate change Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Soldes , an area where China has shown great leadership,"" Helsinki-based media Yle News reported on Wednesday.
""When the US withdraws from supporting free trade and overthrew Obama administration's promise on climate change, other countries like Finland will turn to cooperation with China. To some extent, the US uncertainty will improve China's image and advantage in global governance,"" Chu Yin, an associate professor at the University of International Relations Nike Air VaporMax Moc Soldes , told the Global Times on Wednesday.
According to Xinhua, the Finnish side hopes to carry out more high-level contacts and exchanges in all areas with China, and deepen cooperation in economy and trade, investments, innovation, environmental protection Nike Air VaporMax 97 Soldes , tourism, winter sports and Arctic affairs, as well as within the framework of the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, Niinisto said.
The B&R Initiative was put forward by President Xi in 2013, aiming to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along and beyond ancient Silk Road trade routes.
Finland also wants to strengthen communications and coordination with China on major international issues, and push for even closer cooperation between the European Union and China Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Soldes , he said. Xi also met with the Speaker of the Parliament of Finland Maria Lohela, and both agreed to enhance communication and exchanges between legislative bodies of the two countries.
The bilateral relationship shows both economies are complementary, experts say. ""After Finland's prosperous 'Nokia era' and the Eurozone Crisis, Finland's economic potential has been damaged, but simultaneously, the Chinese economy started to connect with the world. In this process Nike Air Max 98 Soldes , both countries successfully established a pragmatic and mutually trusted bilateral relationship,"" said Jiang Shixue, a professor at Shanghai University and deputy director of the Institute for European Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
""Currently, both countries are facing new opportunity. Xi's visit to Finland would be a milestone for the two countries' bilateral ties and even the Sino-EU relationship,"" Jiang added.
During the meeting between Xi and Niinisto, both sides also agreed to increase communication and exchanges between governments Nike Air Max 97 Soldes , legislative bodies, judicial organs, and the two countries' political parties, Xinhua reported.
""Finland's ranking on the Corruption Perceptions Index and happiness index are very high, and currently Chinese people also have high demand for the Chinese government and Communist Party of China to increase happiness and anti-corruption, so China can learn from Finland's experience in these fields Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Soldes ,"" Jiang said.
'Learn from Finland'
On Wednesday, Xi agreed to send a pair of pandas to Finland. The animals will be loaned for 15 years and are expected to arrive by the end of the year.
During the leaders' meeting, cooperation on winter sports and preparations for the Winter Olympics were also discussed.
According to Xinhua's report on Wednesday, both China and Finland have agreed to cooperate on winter sporting events and preparations for the Winter Olympics, and make 2019 ""the year of China-Finland winter sports.""
