President Murmu also expressed confidence that the recently announced India–EU Free Trade Agreement will provide fresh momentum to our trade and investment ties. The President said that Finland is a global leader in cutting-edge digital technologies, ranging from quantum technology to 6G, and appreciated Finnish companies' role in India’s journey towards a Viksit Bharat. She underlined that several Indian companies are active in Finland and that thousands of Indians, especially IT professionals, are making significant contributions to Finland’s economy. She said this scenario provides immense possibilities for deeper cooperation between our countries in these areas. The President also commended Finland’s leadership in sustainable development and clean technologies. She added that India too has made notable progress in climate action, by expanding our solar and wind energy capacities, promoting green hydrogen, improving sustainable energy efficiency, and initiating platforms such as International Solar Alliance and the Global Bio-Fuels Alliance. She also apprised President Stubb of the LiFE Mission, which encourages people to adopt sustainable lifestyles. She noted that by combining Finland’s expertise in sustainable technologies with India’s green energy innovation, we can demonstrate that prosperity and sustainability can go hand in hand. *** MJPS/PRK (Release ID: 2235682) Visitor Counter : 912 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Marathi , Bengali , Bengali-TR , Tamil , Malayalam President's Secretariat PRESIDENT OF FINLAND MEETS THE PRESIDENT Posted On: 05 MAR 2026 6:26PM by PIB Delhi H.E.
