During his four-day visit, Henriksson will attend the continent's largest education fair, the Asian Summit on Education and Skills. She will deliver one of the opening speeches at the event.

The visit will focus on comprehensive level and upper secondary vocational education in the three southern states of India, which have shown a clear interest in Finland: Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. India, which has recently become the world's most populous country, is developing its education sector and is therefore an interesting partner for Finland.
Earlier this month, Ambassador of Finland to India Kimmo Lahdevirta emphasised that the ongoing free trade negotiations between India and the European Union would produce beneficial results for both India and Finland. The envoy noted that the EU is an important trading partner of India.
