Premier Wen Jiabao left Helsinki on Tuesday for Britain to continue his four-nation tour, after he concluded an official visit to Finland.

 

During his stay in Finland, Wen attended the China-European Union (EU) summit and the 6th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) summit, and met with a number of leaders from Europe and Asia. He also held talks with Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen.

 

Wen's visit to Finland is the first leg of his four-nation tour, which will also take him to Britain, Germany and Tajikistan, where he will attend the prime ministers' meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
