it is now to be said to them i have access to the female but now we think also that perhaps with this new also old eye wall of citizens from finland we'll find better and peter's book and or the fight culture. what russia's w t o membership should accelerate business with the neighbors what they think are some of the benefits for the finnish economy so all we know because we have a lot of trade between family member russia so we would hope of course that that russia could be and i'm sure we will be a member w t o p course 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 fingers that everything will happen very soon what kind of issues are those voices. customs them then and also certain systems concerning the export and import so i think that it will strengthen 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 when i show will offer to finish investors after it's a session to the w t so i hope that yes that you can get the ready for my smile that i suppose is that the feeling and of course i hope in both ways and i am happy also the russians have started to invest in finland because of course we hope also to have some new job seemingly 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 to invest and also saw the trade both 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 you're so we have. for me for that one has an excellent reputation as an old space technology

economy player what do you think were they keys to your country's success in this respect. my basic answer obviously is that if i have to answer. with the three words i say education education education because i think that the education for the young ones who 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 certain because they had a case and will be old first of math much faster than it has happened with any of them or with my parents the second thing is that they are technically always. a major part of the labor and will be not enough educated because the time for him to be in the working life is surpassed forty years if you get only the education when you are young so of course there kate and become so diverse and that's why we hope

also that we could be better concerning their. case and the further educates you know the grown up people. even with the people who are no more in their working life because the society is one unity and we hope that what every survey aids so you are fully involved in this but then the second point is of course that it's not enough that 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 weight they'd put us are the people who have the theory and practice should be handed hat because in a way that doesn't come into practice see who we are not intercourse clinics or. with those who know what to do you've emphasized environmental conversation and energy efficiency as the key platform for cooperation between russia and finland why i think so that given the other countries huge. 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 and you know for the next generations then and there could be as effective up 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 the business warm and in the apartments here. it's pretty pretty warm everywhere. that's of course the question of taste but to be fictive it would mean that. not only the people outside of russia but you yourself have absence you could have more benefits have been a-g. 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 are energy have been interested to work with us to make new ideas how to get to a nearby energy sun and wind sea and whatever you might mention and that's also something what we know well so-called clean tech or the new energy given technology and we need to ask you to share our experiences both in london and 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 very north east are very sad it's very sensitive when

the south could think that we just happy if the private becomes a woman but that's not true as you know because we have used to this than our fellow now of who are very serious about and all you know we all hope to stop this climate warming and that's why i think so that we who have believed here since there isn't a sense is that we have a course sort of basic where you know i don't know how that how to how to work with this circumstances we should have or could cope ok so i think that there are two different aspects one need for us not so or arctic i mean 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 good cooperation with norway but i hope that the starting would be finished together with. with our industry could also produce perhaps to toward more would be icebreaker saw or the

sea. systems vessels and saw it with fifty or so through the arctic area but let's be together very careful because of this research i need here in present days of wish to revive the spirit of helsinki and you have mentioned images 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 divided politically it was the cold war time. no we all know that that was not could we would like to see the united europe we have work months months with that. already there during the recent 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 of. the scene the common european security is welcome to and the european union this have already discussed through the bosis and now with the latest there are always see even meeting in the past but not all saw told us that it's not the only of the european court cases but those are the said the cia says 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 this touch hadn't and we had the what the discussions he said the areas also concerning that because they made a big deal of sadia. saw or saw a different kind of the cases so i think. we have who's weapon east few strips in the beginning of the interview you have mentioned filling 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 be supposed to excel that the call me soon and then the end 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 tech. she is now in a. watching war 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 once and you can babysit freedom for the short terms like for the fairy saw for the for your trade. we personally i admire and the things we're interested in that but we know that it

would be minor gain understanding 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 very practical very pragmatic that all of these conditions what's needed in order to take that away did make of the stuff we don't so we take them practically and their actions take it back to get it means that step by step we don't say anymore if we say what it's needed but why we still used to be says i hope that it would be so so pragmatic so that i think out and no not at all to meit's way to walk you in so that we hope to serve us quite as well as the present helen with thank you for this interview thank you very specially.
