The Chinese National People's Congress (NPC), China's top
legislature, is willing to promote legislative exchanges and
cooperation with its Danish counterpart, Folketing, said reports
from the Danish capital of Copenhagen on Tuesday.
Li Tieying, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee who
heads a NPC delegation to Denmark, remarked on Tuesday at a meeting
with Deputy Danish Prime Minister Bendt Bendtsen, parliament
speaker Christian Mejdahl and the parliament's first vice president
Svend Auken.
Li said China and Denmark have made remarkable achievements in
their cooperation in various fields and both sides still have great
potential to develop the cooperation.
China's NPC attaches importance to its ties with Folketing and
is ready to enhance bilateral legislative exchanges and
cooperation, Li said.
The Danish officials spoke highly of relations with China,
saying both the Danish parliament and the government have always
attached importance to developing relations with China.
As economic globalization deepens, Denmark views China's rapid
development as an important opportunity and wishes to upgrade
bilateral economic and trade cooperation, promote mutual investment
as well as strengthen bilateral cooperation in the fields of energy
and environment protection, they added.
The NPC delegation arrived in Copenhagen on Monday for a
four-day visit at the invitation of Folketing. They will also visit
Sweden and Germany.
