The two sides will also endeavor to build the Chinese-Finnish ecological parks.
On cultural front, the two sides vowed to enhance cooperation in sports, culture, education, tourism, rule of law, social affairs and giant panda research.
As China will host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, the two countries agreed to cooperate more in winter sports and preparation for the Winter Olympics.
The two sides will launch a China-Finland Year of Winter Sports in 2019.
On international and regional affairs, the two countries pledged to enhance communication and coordination to safeguard world peace and stability, improve global economic governance, help implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and actively participate in the multilateral process of climate change.
Xi's visit to Finland is his first trip to a European Union (EU) member state this year, and also his first visit to the Nordic region as president.
During their talks, Xi and Niinisto agreed that the future-oriented new-type cooperative partnership between China and Finland is complementary to the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership.
The two sides said they will commit themselves to building the China-EU partnership for peace, growth, reform and civilization, promoting the implementation of the China-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation, and boosting Sino-Nordic cooperation.
A joint declaration on establishing and promoting the future-oriented new-type cooperative partnership between China and Finland was issued after the summit talks.
The two heads of state also witnessed the signing of cooperation documents on innovation, judiciary and joint research on giant panda.
China and Finland have enjoyed long-term friendship and cooperation since they forged diplomatic ties 67 years ago.
Finland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China, and the first Western nation to sign an intergovernmental trade agreement with China.
Currently, China has been Finland's biggest trading partner in Asia for 14 years.
Xi arrived here Tuesday for a state visit. After Finland, the Chinese president will travel to Florida, the United States, for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday and Friday.
That will be the first meeting between Xi and Trump as the heads of state of the two biggest economies in the world.
