Finnish broadcaster YLE translated the article into Finnish, and highlighted the facts that the Chinese president praised the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and the Linux operating system. The biggest Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat said in its report that the Chinese president will be "the most important guest" in Finland this year as the country marks the centenary of its independence.
"It's a very nice and wise article. Focusing on enduring friendship, the article goes through the main history -- points of Finland and China's relationship, and increasing interaction between Finland and China. It also mentions the European Union (EU)," Alexis Kouros, editor-in-chief of Helsinki Times, told Xinhua in an interview.
"It's paying attention to Finland, and the tone is very friendly and optimistic," added Kouros.
He said that in recent years, the relations between the two nations have improved economically and politically. "You can see in some shops here they have things in Chinese. I think after this trip, people expect to have more good news about new cooperation, initiatives and investments," Kouros said.
In an interview with Xinhua on Monday, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said his country expects to deepen cooperation with China in various areas during the Chinese president's visit.
"We can find common views on how to further develop China-Finland relations as well as China-EU relations, and find solutions to myriad problems and headaches of mankind," said Niinisto.
