Xi Jinping Strengthens China-Denmark Economic Ties Amid Trade Truce

Chinese President Xi Jinping responded to a letter from the founder of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, expressing appreciation for Danish enterprises' confidence in China's future and encouraging further cooperation to enhance China-Denmark and China-Europe relations. Xi emphasized that China remains an ideal and secure destination for foreign investment, urging the chamber and its members to act as a bridge fostering mutual understanding and deepening mutually beneficial economic ties. This rare direct communication from Xi to a foreign business community coincides with ongoing efforts by China to attract foreign investors amid a 90-day trade truce with the United States and increased diplomatic engagement, including an upcoming visit by Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen. Danish business leaders, such as Novo Nordisk and Danfoss, reaffirmed their commitment to the Chinese market, highlighting its significance and growth opportunities. The outreach reflects broader Chinese strategies to strengthen economic partnerships with Europe and maintain momentum in bilateral trade relations despite global uncertainties.
