The Government's economic team led by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski pays a visit Wednesday to Finland, where it is scheduled to meet with country's President Sauli Niinisto.
PM Gruevski will also meet members of the Finnish Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as present Macedonia's investment opportunities at a business forum organized by the Finnish Foreign Trade Association.
