In a significant move to strengthen bilateral relations, China is set to implement a visa-free policy for Danish citizens, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The announcement was made on Friday during a meeting with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in New York.
Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized that this policy aims to enhance people-to-people exchanges and foster closer economic and cultural ties between the two nations.
“This initiative reflects China’s commitment to deepening its relationship with Denmark and promoting mutual understanding between our peoples,” Wang Yi stated.
Boosting Tourism and Business Opportunities
The visa-free policy is expected to facilitate travel for Danish tourists, business professionals, and academics, making it easier to explore China’s rich cultural heritage, engage in business ventures, and participate in academic exchanges.
“I am pleased with China’s decision, which will undoubtedly open new avenues for cooperation and growth,” said Lars Løkke Rasmussen. “It signifies a strong partnership and mutual respect between Denmark and China.”
Strengthening Bilateral Ties
The policy is anticipated to not only increase tourism but also encourage investment and collaboration in various sectors, including technology, education, and sustainable development.
Analysts believe that the visa exemption will lead to a surge in Danish visitors to China, contributing to the economic growth of both countries and reinforcing their roles in global affairs.
Implementation Details Pending
While the exact date of implementation has not been announced, officials from both countries are expected to work closely to finalize the details and ensure a smooth transition to the new policy.
Travelers are advised to stay informed through official government channels for updates on the policy’s rollout.
