THE AMBASSADOR'S CORNER

Dear reader, 


Welcome to this homepage. I hope it will be useful in helping you to find the information you are looking for.

Denmark was among the very first countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1950. Since China embarked on the policy of opening up in the late 1970’s political, economic and people to people contacts have become steadily stronger. Today many Danish companies are present here in China and many Danes are living here.

Denmark, as you may know, is the home country of H.C. Andersen. But Denmark is also a modern, highly competitive country, with strong positions in many areas. We put much emphasis on environmental issues and several Danish companies are world leaders within their respective fields. So, we believe we have a lot to offer in terms of cooperation with China.

As China develops, the potential for cooperation continues to grow. Today relations between China and Denmark are about much more than trade in affordable goods made in China. Today relations are also about cooperation in such areas as climate, energy and environment, research and development, design and fashion, education and culture.

My staff and I warmly welcome this development. We believe that strengthening relations between China and Denmark is in our mutual interest. And we see it as our task, and as an honour and a privilege, to contribute to further enhancing our relations in the future.

Do not hesitate to contact us directly, if you do not find what you are looking for on this Homepage. Under “about us” you can find a list of the Embassy staff and our contact details are listed on the front page. You can also find links to the five other Danish representations which are part of our organisation in China.


Yours sincerely,

Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen
Ambassador of Denmark to China
