2018年是中國与丹麦建立全面战略伙伴关系的第十个年头。十年来,两国在包括健康、食品与农业、知识产权和市场监管、文化、旅游、海事、政法事务和城市发展等58个领域都开展了广泛的合作。中国已成为丹麦在亚洲最大的贸易伙伴,也是欧盟以外第二大贸易伙伴。2018年,中国在丹麦的投资从2017年的2.9亿美元增至11亿美元。除经贸合作外,中丹两国在人文交流领域也一直保持着良好的互动。2017年“中丹旅游年”期间,丹麦国家旅游局在中国推出了“童话丹麦”“美食丹麦”和“设计丹麦”等不同主题的深度游产品,满足中国游客对丹麦广袤的自然风光和丰富的人文历史的探索欲望。

乘着“童话丹麦”的东风,2018年12月1日,以“安徒生童话故事与天府文化的对话”为主题的首届中丹绘画创意活动在四川成都举行。《海的女儿》《卖火柴的小女孩》《皇帝的新衣》等安徒生童话故事深深地影响了一代又一代中国的孩童。活动中,丹麦驻重庆总领事乐慕胜就丹中两国的经贸合作、人文交流分享了自己的观点。

2018年,丹麦商务代表团到四川考察了双流机场、四川自贸区等地,深深地被四川的快速发展和前景吸引。丹方表示,希望与四川进一步扩大在商贸、能源、生命科学、食品安全、健康、人文等领域的交流合作,双方要进一步加强企业间往来,拓展在国际友城、基础设施建设、绿色能源、食品卫生等领域的友好合作,尤其要把握2018年底开通的成都—哥本哈根直飞航线的合作机遇。

“我非常看好中国西南地区的发展潜力,近几年云贵川渝等地的投资机遇也越来越多,我们希望通过举办投资推介活动和商务洽谈,引进更多丹麦企业来这里投资。”乐慕胜告诉记者。目前四川已与丹麦在基础设施建设、教育等领域展开了合作,2018年10月,中丹共同创办的霍森斯小学幼儿园成功开学,成为双方教育合作的典范。丹麦许多企业,如马士基、嘉士伯、乐高、潘多拉、爱步等都早已在四川投资。在中国生活了11年的乐慕胜非常了解中国,出任丹麦驻重庆总领事两年来,他充分利用这一优势,帮助更多丹麦企业了解中国、了解西南地区,为他们的投资决策提供了有价值的参考意见。

“希望通过我们的积极引导,促成更多的丹中合作项目。”乐慕胜表示,自2008年金融危机后来到中国生活,他亲眼见证了中国摆脱经济危机的影响,高质量发展经济的步伐。他盛赞道,“中国正以更加开放包容的态度走向世界,基础设施更加完善,道路更加畅通,旅游业更加发达,人民生活水平更高,这是一个国家发达开放、国际化的重要表现。”

丹麦是亚投行的创始成员国之一。丹麦首相拉斯穆森在出席首届“‘一带一路’国际合作高峰论坛”期间表示,丹方愿意在多层面积极参与“一带一路”建设,同中方共同努力,深度挖掘两国在医疗保健、食品、教育、文化、旅游、足球等领域的合作潜力,推动丹中经贸合作和人文交流再上新台阶。

提到合作交流,乐慕胜说道,“‘一带一路’框架下的合作包罗万象,涵盖贸易、基础设施建设、教育、文化等多个领域。”“一带一路”让我们拥抱彼此的文化,而文化又是推动“一带一路”建设的先行者,“文化交流能够为两国的商业合作带来更多的优势和机遇。”

丹麦以“童话王国”著称,在当天举办的以童话为主题的文化交流活动中,成都小朋友将安徒生童话故事中的人物与天府文化中的熊猫、火锅等元素完美结合,发挥天马行空的想象力,演绎新的童话故事。

以童话促进中丹双方文化交流由来已久,早在19世纪,安徒生就曾创作了中国题材的作品《夜莺》。乐慕胜笑着说道,安徒生每一个童话故事都有一个深刻的道理,“比如我最喜欢的‘丑小鸭’就告诉我们,不能以貌取人,要以平等的心态对待每一个人。”

另一个促进文化交流的重要因素,旅游在中丹交流中的比例也在不断攀升。2018年底开通的成都—哥本哈根直航为两国人民的友好交流创造了更有利的条件。乐慕胜表示,“希望更多的中国人能去丹麦旅游,也有更多丹麦人来中国来四川,实地了解这里不一样的风土人情和文化风貌。”

The year 2018 marked the lOth anmversaryof Denmark-China comprehensive strategicpartnership. Over the decade, the two countries haveen2aged in extensive cooperation in 58 fields: health,food and agriculture, intellectual property and marketsupervision, culture,tourism, maritime affairs,politics andlaw, and urban development to name but a few. Chinahas become the largest trading partner of Denmark inAsia as well as its second larest trading partner globally,only next to the EU.The year 2018 witnessed a surgeof Chinese investment in Denmark to USD l.1 billion,based on USD 290 million in 2017. On top of trade andeconomic cooperation,China and Denmark have alsomaintained close bonds in culture and people-to-peopleexchanges. Durng the China-Denmark ToUrism Year2017,the Danish Tourist Board rolled out a series ofin-depth tour products with varied themes, such as“FairyTales in Denmark”, “Food in Denmark”, and “Designin Denmark”, seeking to meet Chinese tourists' needs inexploring the natural scenay and rich culture Denmarkhas to offer.

To sustain Denmark's strong tradition in fairy tales,the lst Hans Christian Andersen Drawing Event withthe theme "A Dialog between Andersen's Fairy Talesand Tianfu Culture", was held in Chengdu, SichuanProvince on December l, 2018. Andersen's fairy taleslike The Daughter of the Sea,The Little Match Girl,and The Emperor’s New Clothes, all touch a deepchord in the hearts of generations of Chinese children.During the event, Mr. Lars Lund Rasmussen, ConsulGeneral of the Consulate General of the ConsulateGeneral of Denmark in Chongqing, shared his viewson China-Denmark trade and economic cooperation,and cultural exchanges.

In 2018, a Danish business delegation came toSichuan and visited Chengdu Shuangliu IntemationalAirport, China (Sichuan) Pilot Free Trade Zone.and other areas, where they were impressed by therapid growth and bright prospect of the southwestemprovince. The delegation members said that Denmarkis willing to intensify the communication and cooperation with Sichuan in business, energy, lifescience, food security, health, culture, and other fields;and hoped the two sides would enable closer inter-enterprise exchanges and extend their cooperationin international friendship city, infrastructureconstruction, green energy, food safety, and othersectors, particularly, they would seize the cooperationopportunities brought along by the Chengdu-Copenhagen direct flight opened in late 2018.

"I am quite confident in the development potentialof southwestem China, and excited about the ever-growing investment opportunities in Yunnan Guizhou,Sichuan, and Chongqing. We plan to bring moreDanish enterprises to invest here by hosting investmentpromotions and business negotiations," Mr Rasmussentold our reporter. Sichuan has now entered cooperationwith Denmark in infrastructure construction educationand other fields. Horsens Kindergarten and HorsensPrimary School, co-funded by China and Denmark,opened in October 2018, existing as a shining exampleof bilateral education cooperation. A host of Danishenterprises, such as Maersk, Carlsberg, LEGO,PANDORA, and Ecco, have invested in Sichuan.Having lived in China for 11 years, Mr. Rasmussenhas an intimate knowledge of the country. Sincehe took office as Consul General of the ConsulateGeneral of Denmark in Chongqing two years ago,he has been hamessing his strength to help Danishbusiness community get closer to China especially thesouthwestem region, and offer them valuable advices intheir investment decision-making.

"Hopefully, our active efforts will enable moreDenmark-China cooperation proj ects," Mr. Rasmussensaid, noting that, since he chose to live in China afterthe 2008 financial crisis, he has witnessed how Chinahas emerged from the economic meltdown and gearedonto a track of high quality, fast growth. He praised,"China is embracing the world with a more open,inclusive posture. It is a land with better infrastructure,smoother roads, boosted tourism industry and ever-improved people's livelihood, the very hallmarks foran advanced, open, and globalized country."

Denmark is a founding member of the AsianInfrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Duringthe first Belt and Road Forum for InternationalCooperation, Danish Prime Minister Lars LokkeRasmussen said that. Denmark is glad to be part ofthe Belt and Road Initiative in various aspects, andis willing to work with China in tapping into theircooperation potential in medical care, food, education,culture, tourism, football, and other fields, in a way tofurther advance Denmark-China business cooperationand cultural exchanges to a new high.

When it comes to cooperation and exchanges,Consul General Rasmussen said: "The initiativeis all-embracing as it covers cooperation in trade,infrastructure construction, education, culture, andother sectors." "While the initiative enables us to beopen to each other's culture, cultural exchanges heraldfurther progress of the initiative and closer culturalbonds bring more advantages and opportunities forour bilateral business cooperation," he added.

Denmark is known as "the Kingdom of FairyTales". During the Hans Christian Andersen DrawingEvent, kids in Chengdu showed their drawing worksblending characters in Andersen's fairy tales with pandahotpot, and other elements of Tianfu culture, using theirwild imagination to tell old fairy tales in a new way.

Back to the 19th century, Andersen wrote aChina-themed story The Nightingale, which can beseen as an attempt to boost China-Denmark culturalexchange through fairy tales. "There is always aprofound truth behind each ofAndersen's fairy tales,"Mr. Rasmussen said with a smile, "Taking my favorite'The Ugly Duckling' as an example, the story tells usthat one should not judge others by appearance buttreat everyone as equals."

Tourism, another key driver fueling culturalexchanges, has been also featuring prominently inbilateral ties. The Chengdu-Copenhagen direct flight,opened in late 2018, has been facilitating closerfriendship and better communication between the twopeoples. Mr. Rasmussen said, "I hope to see moreChinese people choose Denmark as one of their touristdestinations, and more Danish people come to Sichuanto experience local customs and culture."
