it has to be very popular already now to be said to them i have access to the female but now we think also that perhaps with this new also i wore when citizens from finland will find better mr peters book and or the fine culture of russia what russia's w t o membership should accelerate business with the neighbors what do you think are some of the benefits for the finnish economy so all we know because we have a lot of trade between couldn't remember russia so we would hope of course that russia could be and i'm sure we will be a member. because there are certain issues that will go away from our table and so it's it's more clear to work under the same big us and our circumstances we are keeping the feeding us that everything will happen very soon what kind of issues are those voices. customs and also.

systems concerning the export and import so i think that it through strength of the possibilities of so-called fair trade and this is that we serve the both sides and also finish businesses employ thousands in russia what are they some of the advantages that why shell will offer to finish investors after it's a session to the w t so i hope that yes that you can guess already from my smile that i said previously that they're feeling and of course i hope in both ways and i'm happy also ourselves have started to invest in finland because of course we hope also to have some new job seen me in finland but i think that the word is for the core but i ses and i hope to for the fair corps but i say said more and so in that way the investors can go there where they think that there is an interest of interest and also sold to create wealth could be well i think in both size the w.t. old membership will make the city is that much more clear. and that's why your so

has to hold me for that one has an excellent reputation as an old space technology economy player what a thing where they keys to your country's success in this respect. my basic answer obviously is that if i had to answer. with a three words i say education education education because i think that the education for the young ones we have seen a boy and girl is very necessary in. order to get also or later on in their life the third they took a cent because they did kate and will be old first smites faster than it has happened with me or or with my parents the second thing is that they're technically always. a major part of their labor and will be not enough educated because of the time for to be in the working life easier part forty years if you get only the education when you are young so of course they decay to become so

diverse and that's why we hope also that we could be better concerning their. case and the further educated know that we're not people. even with people who are no more in their working life because the society is one unity and we hope to devote every sort of aids so you are fully involved in this but then the second point is of course that it's not enough that if you are going to. you know how the things that you should also be able to make and you know grayson's we should encourage people to be. you know it did. the people have the theory and practice should be handed had because in a way that doesn't come into practice if we are not intercourse clinics or. with those who know what to do you've emphasized environmentalists conversation and energy efficiency as the key platform for cooperation between russia and finland why i think so that given the other countries huge energy sources it's no

idea to. reuse them without any control because. if we think the whole planet the whole planet we have very limited because sources. so we saw a thing called a now for the next generation seven and try to be as effective as possible the second thing is of course that the price of grain and you might be higher will be certainly higher in the future so it's better already now to really be effective and i would say that we're now in the it's a piece as per that it could be also believe that business warming into apartments here. it's pretty pretty warm everywhere. that's of course the question of taste but to be effective it would mean that. not only the people outside of russia but you yourself have absence you could have more benefits of the

energy and then you'll be or so to. get their normal price then i think also that we have to see also the new resources and i notice that you know all over all around the world also those countries which of the classical resources or energy have been interested to work with us to make new ideas how to get to a new book and then see if sun and wind see and whatever you might mention and that's also something what we know well so-called clean tech or the new energy green technology and we need to ask you to share our. experiences both in london russia have well developed strategists in the arctic and present intensive has a strong platform for cooperation with norway now in your vision what what is your country's sustainable strategy in the arctic it's extremely important because also the nature and nature in the in the very north east are various red chair it's very

sensitive when the south could think that we are just happy if the current becomes a woman but that's not true as you know because we have used to this then our fall now of who are you serious about and all you know we all hope to stop this. and that's why i think so that we who have believed here since there is a sense here is that we have a course sort of basic where you know i don't know how that how to how to work with with this circumstances we should have a quick oh ok so i think that there are two different aspects one need for us not saw arctic i mean they're both exceed the region which will be of course covered with ice or snow in the future we hope but then the very north very north where you have already could cooperate and with no way but i hope that they're starting good business together with. that with our industry could also produce perhaps

to toward more would be icebreaker saw or the sea. systems west of some sort which had fifty or so to the arctic area but let's be together very careful because of this if it he and president invades if wish to revive the spirit of helsinki and you have mentioned to me that is proposed to european security what do you think are the strong points of this particular trait the standpoint is that europe used to be a very long time divided divide he put it was the cold war time. no we all know that that's not could we would like to see the united europe we have work months months with that. already they're looking at it and twenty twenty five years or thirty five years if we start to appear sickly or c.b.d. . then of course they or the systems become also up with our fate

they're not keeping as modern and as effective as we hope presently made a video to the scene the common european security is welcome there and the european union this have already discussed through the bosis and now with the latest there are always see even meeting in the us that not all saw told us that it's not the only the european corporations but also the said cac is very interested about this these ideas so as then of course not too to how could i say effective by the it was awkward to try anyway to keep the starch had and we had the what the discussion said the areas also concerning the middle baby of sadia and so also the sort of kind of the cases so i think. we have who's at least a few steps in a beginning of the interview you have mentioned finland being popular with issuing

visas and yes it does issue over one million visitors to russians every year and plus this high speed train link connecting our two baltic cities could finland be the first country to offer a visit free regime to russian citizens under certain circumstances so i think that the aggressors really were already involved in the european union to be supposed that the call me soon and then then unanimous decision of the. e.u. countries it's basics but we have tried to be a pilot country in many ways for instance where you see in the most modern day. she is now in a. watching war of the recess and we try to show how to be effective and safe at the same time i know it they so want to read the rest also in phoenix side concern you can babysit freedom for the short terms like for the fairy saw for the for your trade. we personally i admire and we invested in

that but we know that it would be mounted again understanding you know the whole you'll fall subscribe to the hype but what this the most important piece of bad when a person has now become very practical very pragmatic that all of these conditions what's not needed in order to take the way to make of the stuff you need to so we take them practically and their actions take it back to get me is that step by step we don't say anymore if we say what it's. but it's why we still use the visas i hope that it would be so so perfect metrics so put i think out and no not at all two months waiting while q and so and we hope to serve you ask would ask what president helen with thank you for this interview thank you very much especially were.
