COPENHAGEN, June 11 -- A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) called here on Wednesday for strengthening China-Denmark ties through trust building and pragmatic cooperation.
"The relationship between China and Denmark is at its best time in history," Liu Yunshan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said at a meeting with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, noting that Denmark was among the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with China.
Next year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark. Liu said both countries should seize the opportunity to jointly promote their comprehensive strategic partnership, for which he put forward a four-point proposal, urging the two countries to enhance political trust, trade and investment cooperation, cultural and people-to-people exchanges, as well as coordination in multilateral fora to ensure world peace and stability.
"The two countries should intensify high-level visits and political dialogue," Liu said. "It is hoped that Denmark would continue to respect and accommodate China's core interests and major concerns."
As to economic cooperation, Liu highlighted green agriculture and clean energy as two priority areas where Denmark has rich experience to share with China.
For her part, Thorning-Schmidt said the Danish government attaches great importance to its friendly relations with China and their cooperation in all areas.
"We are very satisfied with the current status of our bilateral relations, and we hope to deepen our cooperation," she said.
Denmark is the first leg of Liu's four-nation Europe tour, which will also take him to Finland, Ireland and Portugal.
