German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet with President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Alexander Stubb in Helsinki on March 30.
"This is the first time that Germany's Chancellor has made an official visit to Finland since 2006," says Stubb, who extended the invitation to Merkel.
The purpose of the visit is to discuss the Russian situation and European politics.
The visit will take place less than three weeks before Finnish parliamentary elections.
President Alexander Stubb said that Finland has "the biggest military force of Arctic capabilities" in Nato. Regarding Greenland, he expressed confidence that "we’ll find an off-ramp".
The country has around 50,500 civil defence shelters that could accommodate about 4.8 million people, according to the interior ministry.
The survey results also reflect data from a survey of foreign language speakers in the country.
