BEIJING, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping told Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo on Tuesday that China is ready to work with Finland on global challenges, uphold a UN-centred international system and advance a multipolar world based on economic globalisation, according to state news agency Xinhua.
He also said Beijing hopes Finland will play a constructive role in promoting the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations, Xinhua reported.
The visit comes as U.S. President Donald Trump's volatile foreign policy decisions and confrontational approach toward allies push European countries to diversify their foreign relations.
