Helsinki, June 16 : Negotiators from the four parties aiming to form a coalition government in Finland announced that they have reached agreement on the government program.

“The government program is now wrapped up,” Rinne told reporters, adding the parties would continue to negotiate about ministerial nominations on Sunday and publish the program on Monday.

The nationalist and eurosceptic Finns Party came second by a tight margin, at 17.5%, but Rinne excluded them from the coalition talks, opting to partner up with outgoing Prime Minister Juha Sipila’s Center Party as his main coalition ally in addition to the Greens, the Left Alliance and the Swedish People’s Party.
