Prime Minister Petteri Orpo will visit New Delhi, India from February 17 to February 20, said a government press release.
On Thursday Orpo will attend the India AI Impact Summit hosted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and on Wednesday he will have a bilateral meeting with Modi.
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by a business delegation from 22 Finnish companies.
Besides Heads of State and Government, the AI Impact Summit will bring together International organisations, various stakeholders, AI experts and dozens of leading AI companies from around the world.
“At the summit we will highlight Finland’s strengths in the fields of AI policy and innovation. Finland has world-class expertise in AI and potential to lead the way in its use. At the same time, we will also promote the safe and responsible use of AI. Geopolitical and economic competition keeps growing, and Finland must be highly active in international technology issues. Besides cooperation among the like-minded countries, we must also seek a common understanding with other countries,” Orpo said in the press release.
At the India AI Impact Summit, Orpo will deliver Finland’s address, visit various country pavilions and speak at the side events organised by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra and the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM).
The agenda also includes a dinner for invited guests hosted by Modi and other high-level meetings.
Finland and India have good relations, which continue to grow even closer.
“We want to continue the work towards even closer cooperation between our countries, with a particular focus on the commonly defined fields – digitalisation and sustainability. Our aim is to strengthen the new strategic partnership in these fields. The EU-India Free Trade Agreement concluded in January opens significant opportunities to further improve our relations,” Orpo added.
