Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen will embark on a four-day official visit to the Chinese mainland starting May 17, following an invitation from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The trip, announced by a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, underscores ongoing efforts to enhance diplomatic and economic collaboration between the two nations.
Rasmussen's agenda is expected to prioritize discussions on bilateral trade, climate initiatives, and innovation partnerships, reflecting Denmark's leadership in green energy and sustainable technology. Observers note the visit aligns with broader European Union strategies to balance economic engagement with China amid shifting global dynamics.
This marks Rasmussen's first visit since reassuming the foreign affairs portfolio in 2023, signaling Denmark's commitment to advancing pragmatic cooperation. The talks may also address regional security and Arctic policy, areas where both nations share strategic interests.
