Denmark and China signaled a strong willingness to upgrade collaboration on very different areas of cooperation. The relationship between our nations has a long history of good cooperation, but there is no doubt that the visit by Mr. Hu Jintao and his followers is another milestone in the Sino-Danish friendship.

Mr. Hu’s visit was of great importance to Denmark. Sino-Danish cooperation has moved to a higher level. Danish key competencies and Chinese demand is a perfect match. Yet the commercial benefits from the visit will continue to spinoff, as official Chinese recognition will influence the ease of doing business for Danish enterprises in China.

The visit was the first ever by a Chinese president – and it symbolizes the great commercial ties between Denmark and China. President Hu Jintao was accommodated with an impressive delegation of key players in the Chinese elite. Besides the political dialogue, the agenda also included meetings with business executives and the Queens Gala dinner. 

Chairman of the Board Thorkil Kastberg Christensen participated in the Royal Gala Dinner Friday evening. Secretary General Tom Jensen participated in the Lunch Saturday hosted by the Danish Prime minister Helle Thorning-Smidt. Chairman Thorkil Kastberg Christensen also participated in the meetings between Mr. Chen Deming Minister of Commerce and Danish Minister of Trade and Investment, Pia Olsen Dyhr. The Chairman had the opportunity to present a couple of issues raised by our members.

Danish-Chinese Forum would also like to welcome the increased interest by Chinese investors – we are confident that this is the beginning of a successful journey. Feng Jun from Aigo Entrepreneur Alliance visited Danish-Chinese Business Forum. Feng Jun, Chairman of Aigo Digital Technology was leading the Aigo delegation back in December, and he has chosen Denmark as location for their European establishment. We hope to continue the good cooperation in the future.
