中芬兩國彼此懷有友好感情。芬蘭是最早同新中國建交的西方國家之一，是第一個同中國簽訂政府間貿易協定的西方國家。1952年，芬蘭作為東道國，邀請中國參加第十五屆赫爾辛基奧運會，五星紅旗第一次在奧林匹克運動賽場上升起。上世紀70年代，芬蘭是少數積極支持中國恢復聯合國合法席位的西方國家.

For Helsinki Times
At the invitation of President Sauli Niinistö, I am delighted to pay a state visit to Finland in this beautiful spring season of budding plants and blooming flowers.
I have been to Finland twice before. Your scenic and unspoiled lakes and forests, your development philosophy that values diligence and innovation, and your kind and honest people all left me fond memories. Finland lies at the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations. Throughout the centuries, the Finns, with their “sisu” spirit, have forged ahead despite many vicissitudes and made remarkable achievements in national independence and prosperity. This country is home to the great composer Jean Sibelius and the well-regarded Linux operating system. It also has one of the highest rankings on the World Happiness Index and the Corruption Perceptions Index.
中芬經濟優勢互補，合作互利共贏的特點突出。中國連續14年成為芬蘭在亞洲最大貿易夥伴，雙方雙向投資增長強勁。中國推進“十三五”規劃同芬蘭實施“2025發展願景”多有契合，雙方在創新創業、清潔能源、生物經濟、北極科研等領域務實合作將呈現更多新亮點。中方正在積極推進“一帶一路”建設，歡迎芬方積極參與。
赫爾辛基藝術節中國主賓國活動和在北京舉辦的“你好，赫爾辛基”文化活動受到兩國人民歡迎。中國將於2022年舉辦冬季奧運會，芬蘭是世界冰雪運動強國，雙方合作大有可為。
中國和歐盟是世界上兩支重要力量。當前，中歐全面戰略夥伴關系發展日趨成熟深入，和平、增長、改革、文明四大夥伴關系全面推進，中歐共同投資基金、互聯互通等五大平臺建設取得積極進展。中歐雙方都在推進結構性改革，促進經濟社會發展。雙方對接各自發展戰略、加強利益融合，對促進中歐共同增長具有重要意義。中歐雙方要堅持開放包容的共同理念，為促進世界和平和繁榮作出新貢獻。

Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, arrived in Finland today on a three-day state visit.
Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, begins his state visit of Finland today. Joined by a delegation that includes his wife and First Lady of China Peng Liyuan, President Xi will remain in Finland until Thursday, 6 April. He will then fly out to Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where he will meet US President Donald Trump.
Xi’s stay in Finland is only the second such visit by a Chinese President and the first for over 20 years. It also represents President Xi’s first visit to a North European country as head of state, as well as his first tour to an EU member this year.
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and First Lady of Finland Jenni Haukio will receive President Xi and his wife at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki on Wednesday, 5 April. They are scheduled to hold talks concerning political and economic relations between the two countries. International affairs will also be discussed, such as the partnership between China and the EU.
The visit is also seen as a way of commemorating the longstanding relationship between Finland and China, as well as Finland’s centenary year. As President Xi mentioned in his exclusive letter to the Helsinki Times, Finland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with China. There’s a belief that this relationship will only be strengthened in the next few days.
芬蘭又稱「千湖之國」，瑞典國王埃里克九世1154年將基督教帶入芬蘭。瑞典語一直是行政、教育機構的第一語言，而芬蘭語直到19世紀芬蘭民族主義高漲以及芬蘭的第一篇民族史詩《卡勒瓦拉》發表後才受到重視。
1808年在芬蘭戰爭中，瑞典與俄羅斯交戰落敗，芬蘭被俄羅斯沙皇亞歷山大一世的軍隊占領，此後芬蘭脫離瑞典，成為俄羅斯帝國內的自治大公國，並由沙皇兼任大公直到1917年。
1917年12月6日俄國布爾什維克革命（十月革命）後不久，芬蘭宣布獨立。
1947年和1948年與蘇聯簽署的多份條約規定了芬蘭對蘇聯的義務與限制，芬蘭在1940年和約的基礎上更多的領土遭到蘇聯侵佔。1991年蘇聯解體後芬蘭終於可以自己決定命運，並且在1995年加入歐盟。芬蘭是唯一非北約成員國卻與俄羅斯的領土接壤的歐盟國家。然而，芬蘭的官方政策，是以35萬後備役部隊加上高機動性國防軍的地面強大武器裝備，達到足夠威懾敵方的軍事力量。另外，軍事戰略上利用森林密布的地形和眾多的湖泊，可以拖延侵略者的行動，來完成軍事部署。
芬蘭被譽為「千島之國」與「千湖之國」：精確來說全國共有188,000個湖泊（面積500平方米以上的）和179,000個島嶼。芬蘭地勢平坦，拉普蘭北部地區位於芬蘭、挪威邊界的哈爾蒂亞峰（Haltitunturi）位於挪威一側的最高峰海拔1,365米，其位於芬蘭一側的海拔1,328米的山坡處，為芬蘭最高點[]。芬蘭最長的河流是凱米河（Kemijoki），長512公里]。
除了湖泊之外，全國為大片森林覆蓋，佔國土面積的69%。可耕種面積較少，僅占8%。島嶼集中最多的地方是在西南部位於芬蘭大陸和奧蘭群島主島之間的群島海里。
