Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo is on a four-day visit to India, where he is scheduled to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. The meeting is part of a broader agenda that includes attending a summit focused on artificial intelligence, hosted by Modi. Orpo's delegation includes representatives from 22 Finnish companies, highlighting the focus on strengthening economic ties between Finland and India.

During this visit, Gitta Perez, a commercial counselor at the Finnish Embassy in Delhi, expressed optimism about enhancing economic relations, especially in areas related to sustainable infrastructure and the green transition. Finnish companies see significant opportunities in India's burgeoning market, particularly in sectors where sustainable development is a priority. This visit is also expected to foster high-level discussions on mutual collaboration in various fields.

The AI summit aims to strengthen understanding on the principles of global governance regarding artificial intelligence, and to enhance international cooperation in this domain. This summit is not the first for Orpo, as he attended a previous AI summit in Paris last year, indicating Finland's commitment to engaging in global discussions on technological advances and their governance.
