Potential seen for work in key fields

China expects to work with Finland promoting cooperation in fields such as innovation, energy efficiency, environmental protection and Arctic affairs, President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday.

The two nations have maintained good relations and share some development strategies, which opens the door to further cooperation, Xi said in a meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila in Helsinki during his state visit.

He noted that the Chinese economy has maintained good momentum against the background of a sluggish global economic recovery.
