Vice President Jiang Jiang said that, Denmark was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. Over the past 75 years, the two countries have achieved fruitful practical cooperation, vibrant cultural exchanges, and robust subnational exchanges. It is important that we bear in mind the original aspiration that guided the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, deepen partnership and build stronger mutual political trust; expand cooperation and share opportunities in innovation; and strengthen people-to-people bonds and promote peace and development. China is committed to work with Denmark to elevate the comprehensive strategic partnership to new heights, bringing greater benefits to the two peoples and contributing more to global peace and development.

The two countries share strong common interests in areas such as green transition, environmental protection, agriculture and food, health, and life sciences. Valuing the relations with China, Denmark will remain committed to expanding bilateral cooperation across various fields.
