PM Modi Congratulates Denmark’s Frederiksen On Assuming Office, Eyes Stronger Ties Under Green Strategic Partnership

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated Mette Frederiksen on assuming office as the Prime Minister of Denmark for a third consecutive term, and said he looks forward to further strengthening the India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership.

“Congratulations to my friend Ms. Mette Frederiksen on assuming office as the Prime Minister of Denmark for a remarkable third consecutive term,” PM Modi said in a post on X, adding that India and Denmark share an “enduring partnership founded on mutual trust, shared values and a common commitment to a sustainable future.”

“I look forward to working closely with Prime Minister Frederiksen to further strengthen the India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership and take our cooperation to new heights for the benefit of our peoples,” the Prime Minister added in his post.

According to a joint statement issued in September 2020, India and Denmark elevated their bilateral relationship to a Green Strategic Partnership, reflecting the shared commitment of both countries to remain trusted partners.

The partnership was built upon the Joint Commission for Cooperation Agreement signed in February, 2009, which envisaged cooperation in political, economic and commercial affairs, science and technology, environment, energy, education, and culture.

It also strengthened and complemented existing Joint Working Groups in areas such as renewable energy, urban development, environment, agriculture and animal husbandry, food processing, science, technology and innovation, shipping, labour mobility, and digitisation.

PM Modi met with his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen, as part of his five-nation tour last month and held a bilateral meeting with her.

Both leaders also participated in the 3rd India-Nordic Summit in Norway.
