According to him, the Finnish delegation includes the representatives of 15 large companies such as Nurminen Logistics Plc, Nokia, EastCham Finland, Business Finland, Lamor, Wärtsilä Finland, PayIQ, EPSE and others. During the upcoming meetings, the parties will focus on strengthening the trade-economic relations.

Furthermore, the Finnish side plans to open a visa hub at the Embassy of Finland in Astana, which will serve the citizens of Central Asian states.

The parties also exchanged views on the topical issues of the international and regional agenda.

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev conveyed his sincere wishes to President of Finland Sauli Niinistö and invited him to visit Kazakhstan.
