CIIE to boost China-Finland economic relations

China is keen on increasing participation by Finnish companies at the second China International Import Expo in Shanghai later this year, a visiting delegation said in Helsinki on Tuesday.

The delegation, led by the Vice-Minister of Commerce Wang Bingnan, held discussions with Finnish businesses and handed out official invitations to 100 representatives for the event in November.

"New Era, Shared Future" is not just the CIIE theme, but an invitation from China to share the huge consumption potential of the country's 1.4 billion population, Wang said at the roadshow held at the Chinese Embassy to Finland.
