China is set to boost imports of high-quality Finnish products and technologies, aiming to deepen cooperation in the digital economy and green transformation sectors. This initiative follows a recent meeting between China’s Vice Commerce Minister and Deputy China International Trade Representative Ling Ji and Finland’s Under-Secretary of State for International Trade Jarno Syrjälä.
The two officials discussed enhancing China-Finland and China-European Union economic and trade relations.
