A Danish delegation led by Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen (pictured) will visit Beijing 20-21 April to deepen cooperation with China in the field of green transition and international climate negotiations.
During the visit, the minister will meet top officials from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission.
Conversations will focus on how China and Denmark could work together to accelerate green transition and raise ambitions for COP28 in the United Arab Emirates at the end of this year.
The minister will also meet Zhao Fengtao, vice chairman of the China International Development Cooperation Agency.
Since the bilateral energy cooperation was initiated in 2005, China and Denmark have built a wide-ranging government-to-government collaboration in areas of mutual interests, including renewable energy, scenario planning, power system flexibility, energy efficiency and district heating.
During his stay in Beijing, the minister will sign a new MoU between the National Energy Administration and the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities.
The objective of the agreement is to deepen the bilateral cooperation on energy and district heating to accelerate China’s green transition.
