Visiting Finnish President Alexander Stubb expressed optimism for fruitful environmental cooperation with China during an interview in Beijing on Wednesday.
President Stubb emphasized the need for innovative climate solutions for both countries.
"Climate and environment is a key example of where this (innovation) needs to be done because we know that we are over stretching the capacity of the planet to sustain, for instance, CO2 emissions. So we need to have innovative ways of moving, of consuming energy, of consuming electricity. In Finland, we're very good on electricity, I think it's over 90 [percent], even 95 percent which is basically clean, so no CO2. There's nuclear, there's hydro, there are different diverse ways of producing electricity. Whereas on the heating side, I think all of us still have to work. So I think we're all in this boat together, and I'm sure that Finnish-Chinese cooperation in this field will be fruitful, that's why I had my minister of environment and climate here in China as well," he said.
Stubb arrived in Beijing on Monday for a four-day state visit to China at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

A company in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has adopted a smart management system and cutting-edge technologies to maintain coal transport trains, guaranteeing a steady energy supply during the winter months.
Inside the maintenance workshop of the National Energy Group Railway Equipment Company in Baotou City, large coal transport trains were disassembled into individual parts for careful examination.
Traditionally, at least two workers were required to complete the procedures of disassembly, overhaul, inspection and assembly, and manually transfer heavy components and parts, up to tons, a day. Now, a single robot can do the job more quickly, safely, and efficiently.
The use of intelligent technologies, including ultrasonic testing for detecting defects in train axles, has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of inspections. It also offers diagnosis results for follow-up maintenance.
Additionally, smart devices are also incorporated to conduct "X-ray" inspections to check the defects in train components.
To prevent potential accidents, it will be done by both humans and devices for quality guarantee.
"As of December 2, we have conducted maintenance on more than 18,000 trains and 1.01 million carriages annually and solved more than 50,000 faults of various types to ensure stable and orderly energy supply in winter," said Qin Riqiang, a staff member of the company.
