New Delhi, December 12 — Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava met a Danish delegation led by Denmark’s Ambassador to India, Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, to discuss current and potential areas of bilateral cooperation. The Ministry of Health said both sides reaffirmed their commitment to deepen India-Denmark collaboration in health, food and agriculture, and to advance the Green Strategic Partnership.
Officials highlighted a shared aim to develop resilient, sustainable and future-ready systems that serve both countries. The ministry noted that the talks underscored mutual commitment to strengthening ties across these sectors.
India and Denmark elevated their relationship to a Green Strategic Partnership in September 2020, building on the Joint Commission for Cooperation established in February 2009. That partnership, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during a virtual summit, covers political, economic and commercial ties, science and technology, environment, energy, education and culture.
The Green Strategic Partnership complements existing joint working groups on renewable energy, urban development, environment, agriculture and animal husbandry, food processing, science, technology and innovation, shipping, labour mobility and digitisation. The arrangement seeks to boost political cooperation, expand economic links and green growth, generate jobs and strengthen joint responses to global challenges, with emphasis on robust implementation of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
