Danish parliament speaker calls for green transition cooperation with China
COPENHAGEN, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Denmark and China should enhance cooperation in green technology and sustainable industries for the future, Soren Gade, Speaker of the Danish Parliament (Folketing) said on Monday. Speaking to Xinhua at a reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Denmark to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic ties, Gade expressed confidence that the two countries will further expand their green partnership, especially in light of the global push for sustainable development and green transition. "We are very much involved in green tech, and China is as well. We will continue to cooperate on the green transition in the years to come," he said. He said that cooperation between Denmark and China has deepened across various fields over the past 75 years. "Denmark and China have enjoyed increasingly close cooperation in many areas. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen just visited China last month, which demonstrates the high level of our bilateral relations," Gade said. The parliament speaker highlighted strong existing cooperation in wind power, battery technology, and new energy vehicles, adding that these areas should remain key focuses for future collaboration. "China is always at the forefront in these areas, and I see no reason why our cooperation should not continue and deepen in the years to come," he said. Gade noted that he had visited China many times, including during a 2014 state visit with then Danish Queen Margrethe II. "China is a huge country with a large number of consumers. This is why many Danish companies are eager to develop in China," he said. "At the same time, China is a very friendly and welcoming place to visit."
