Finland's new coalition government will be composed of the Center Party, the Finns Party and the National Coalition Party, according to a press conference on Thursday.

The three parties are the biggest in the new parliament elected late April. The Social Democratic Party and the Left Alliance will remain the opposition.

Juha Sipila, head of the Center Party and the incoming prime minister, told the conference that due to economically challenging times, "we need a strong coalition which can make reforms and implement the decisions." Endit
