Chapter 964: First Stop in Northern Europe?

readx;

The four Nordic countries refer to Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, these four countries are located in the north of Europe, and the traditional center of Europe is relatively different in terms of economy and culture, our traditional Sino-European relations The influence of these four countries in it is very weak, but after all, the four Nordic countries are European countries, as long as they are part of the big 6 in Europe, the relationship between the republic and Europe can affect the relationship between the republic and the Nordics.

At the best of relations between the Republic and the countries of Europe, there was not much in the way of Nordic and Central European relations. However, in previous years there was a rift in the relations between the republic and Europe, and in recent years both the republic and the European countries have been trying to mend this rift.

At such a critical juncture, the importance of the relationship between the Republic and the Nordic countries is highlighted. For the time being, relations between the Republic and the Nordic countries are better than those between the Republic and a few traditional European powers.

Therefore, the high-profile visit of the leaders of the Republic to the four Nordic countries can be seen as a show of goodwill by the Republic to the European countries, and at the same time, it can also be seen as a warning to them. Its decision is not made in the Republic, but in the countries of Europe.

If all European countries can correctly understand the importance of Sino-European relations, be able to adopt an independent foreign policy, and be free from the misfortune of the United States, Sino-European relations will have great potential to be tapped, and may even be restored to the best level in history.

However, if European countries fail to see the situation clearly and continue to pursue a so-called hardline foreign policy, Sino-EU relations will inevitably be overshadowed and the future will be full of difficulties.

This is the strategic intention of Mr. Yang's four Nordic countries, so this visit has attracted great attention from the outside world, not only Europeans, but also the United States.

The day before Vice Premier Yang led a delegation to Northern Europe, Premier Du led a large delegation to visit the United States, which opened this year's diplomatic curtain with great momentum "attracting worldwide attention, and the Republic at the beginning of the Gregorian New Year."

In the past few days, the global media is destined to be busy, because whether it is Premier Du's visit to the United States or Vice President Yang's Nordic Europe, it can be said that this year's important diplomatic events in the world will be an important diplomatic event. Because "these two diplomatic activities involve China-US relations and China-EU relations, the two most important bilateral relations in the world today, it can be said that these two bilateral relations are related to the overall pattern of world diplomacy, so the global media cannot but focus on it."

Whether it is Premier Du's visit to Europe or Vice Premier Yang's visit to the United States, the economic and trade cooperation involved in this is the most important." And the economic and trade team led by Premier Yang also has many people.

In order to cooperate with the leader's visit, Minister of Commerce Wei Songping and Executive Vice Minister Zhang Qingyun accompanied the Premier and Vice Premier respectively, which is definitely the strongest lineup that the Ministry of Commerce can organize. And Zhang Qingyun also accompanied a national leader on a foreign visit for the first time as a vice minister after entering the Ministry of Commerce, so there is now strong attention from all sides about his performance.

"Alright, alright! Girl, Dad will definitely bring you a gift, a gift in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale country. Zhang Qingyun pinched her daughter's face and said lovingly. This girl knew that Zhang Qingyun was going to Northern Europe in the next few days, and she pestered her to see Andersen's grandfather every day.

Seeing the tearful girl, when Zhang Qingyun was leaving, he held him in his arms and gave her a serious promise.

The girl was silent, pouting her mouth and seemed to be very angry with Zhang Qingyun, Zhao Jiayao took her from Zhang Qingyun's hand, let her grandmother hold her, and then said: "I look at the weather forecast" The temperature over there is much lower than here, and it is important to walk around outdoors. ”

Zhang Qingyun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Jiayao, and said, "Don't worry!" I am Mr. Yang's entourage, and his old people can experience the severe cold, "Where will I be fine?" ”

Zhao Jiayao nodded, she knew very well in her heart the pressure on Zhang Qingyun's body recently. Zhang Qingyun's work in the Ministry of Commerce is a completely new field for him, and now he has not been in the Ministry of Commerce for a long time, and he has attracted the attention of so many people, and Zhao Jiayao is very worried about her.

Moreover, Mr. Yang's visit to Europe this time is obviously not an ordinary visit, this is Zhang Qingyun's first important foreign visit after taking office as vice minister of commerce, and the significance to him is self-evident.

Looking at Zhang Qingyun's distant back, Zhao Jiayao pulled her daughter to the door to see him off, silently blessing in her heart.

In the past five years, the trade between the Republic and Finland has repeatedly hit new highs, and the total bilateral trade between the two countries in the past year has reached 1.2 billion US dollars, showing a strong upward momentum and broad prospects for cooperation.

The cooperation between the Republic and Finland is mainly in the fields of electronic communications, paper and non-ferrous metals, Finland is only one country, although they are countries, but Nokia, Stora Enso, UPM, Kone, the United States* and other world-renowned enterprises are headquartered in Finland, so its strength is not to be reckoned with.

In addition, Finland is a member of the Yellow Sea Cooperation Organization, and its and the Republic of China have a relatively high level of diplomacy, and the two heads of state have a lot of consensus at the summit of the leaders of the Yellow Sea Cooperation Organization. Mr. Yang and Ha Wanning held a meeting at random.

In the first half of the talks, there was no economic and trade content, and the two mainly exchanged views on important international issues at present, and Zhang Qingyun sat in a position away from Vice Premier Yang, and from this angle, he had just time to look at Havanin and his entourage.

Before this visit, Zhang Qingyun had a special knowledge of Finland, and knew that Havanin was a very influential figure in Europe, and his fame may be largely due to his scandals. First, the French prime minister called him the most attractive man in Europe, and then his girlfriend exposed the details of his private life. This matter has a certain influence in the republic on the other side of the ocean, and Zhang Qingyun can have such a close contact, so it is inevitable to take a few more glances at him.

Of course, Zhang Qingyun's focus is not on him, but on the Finnish Minister of Trade and Industry Pekarinen, and the Minister of Foreign Trade and Exhibition, Lehtomeki, according to the schedule, after the talks between the leaders of the two countries, Zhang Qingyun will talk with these two.

The results of the talks between Zhang Qingyun and the two of them are quite important, because the talks are all about substantive issues, and only when the talks are completed will there be something to say about the results of the visit to Finland announced to the outside world at a press briefing attended by the prime ministers of the two countries.

Zhang Qingyun was seriously thinking about the content of the meeting in his heart, and suddenly felt that Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next to him touched him gently, and he hurriedly returned to reality from his thoughts, and looked up to see Ha Wanning looking at him with a smile.

Havanin spoke in Finnish, Zhang Qingyun did not know what he meant, until the end of the sentence, after the translation, he understood that the negotiations between the two bigwigs had already involved economic and trade aspects, Havanin turned the topic to the economic and trade aspects of the first sentence: "Before the respected Premier Yang visited Finland, I learned that because of your visit, the youngest vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic of China, Zhang Zhang, became famous all over the world, and we are very happy. In fact, this shows that people all over the world are paying attention to China-Finland economic and trade cooperation. He looked at Zhang Qingyun with his eyes and said with a smile: "Minister Zhang, I hope you can like our Helsinki City, our Helsinki City is not as prosperous as your capital, but we are better than the living environment."

I've heard that you're a politician with a keen eye for the city, and I hope you find inspiration in our Helsinki. ”

Zhang Qingyun was shocked, he didn't expect the Prime Minister of Finland to understand him so thoroughly, obviously Havanin has also done his homework, Zhang Qingyun's political experience he knows well, the first sentence highlights Zhang Qingyun's achievements in urban construction during the reign of Hong Kong City.

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, Helsinki is beautiful and charming, but what I need now is more inspiration than urban development, and economic and trade cooperation. I know that Minister Pecarinen and Minister Lehtomeki are both experts in economic and trade matters, and I know only a little bit about it, so I feel a lot of pressure to compete with them. Zhang Qingyun said with a smile.

Havanin listened carefully to the translation with his ears sideways, but the other party's translation was not in place the first time, and he did not understand the meaning. He asked the other interpreter on his right, and finally understood what Zhang Qingyun meant, laughed, threw an appreciative glance at Zhang Qingyun, and said to Vice Premier Yang: "Your Excellency Premier Yang, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, I see that your youngest minister is a diplomat by nature, and the meeting between him and our two ministers will be very worthy of our expectations." ”

Vice Premier Yang also laughed, but did not continue the topic. Zhang Qingyun glanced at Hawanin, and for the first time felt the cunning of this Western man. He is invisibly putting pressure on Premier Yang and creating an atmosphere for the next meeting between Zhang Qingyun and the two ministers.

It's a psychological warfare, and it's just a matter of etiquette to talk to a friendly one like this. When it comes to specific things, the atmosphere of the talks will be suddenly tense, Hawanin said that Zhang Qingyun is a natural diplomat, in fact, it is equivalent to saying that Zhang Qingyun may be a rookie, which is invisibly putting pressure on Zhang Qingyun, of course, it is also putting pressure on Vice Premier Yang, the purpose is naturally that they want to get more benefits!
