Danish Prime Minister, Rasmussen invited more Chinese tourists to visit Denmark.
Despite the already close ties between Denmark and China, Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen believes there are still broad prospects for furthering bilateral cooperation.
At a recent joint interview with Chinese media ahead of the 2018 Chinese New Year, Rasmussen hailed the sound growth of the two countries' relations, saying that the Joint Work Program 2017-2020 signed during his visit to China last year was a crucial step forward as Denmark is now among the European countries that have the strongest connections with China.
"Even though we have a very close cooperation, I think there is room to improve this cooperation in many different areas," said the prime minister, who pointed out three specific areas where the two countries can further explore cooperation, such as fighting against global climate change, the Belt and Road Initiative and trade.
"The climate agenda is something we have in common and I am very satisfied with the strong Chinese leadership in this area. We need that and I think Denmark has great competitiveness in this area," Rasmussen said.
Talking about the Belt and Road Initiative, Rasmussen said the initiative is "something very very special and has a huge potential" and Denmark can assist China with Danish competences and skills.
The initiative, proposed by China in 2013, aims to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along the ancient Silk Road routes,
Denmark was among the first Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with China, and the year of 2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Denmark comprehensive strategic partnership.
Rasmussen sent his Chinese New Year greetings to China and to the Chinese people on the start of the Chinese Lunar Year of Dog, and invited more Chinese tourists to visit Denmark.
"Soon you will not only be able to visit the Little Mermaid in Denmark, but also the two giant pandas. We all look forward to welcoming you in Denmark," he said.
