CHINA-DENMARK

JOINT WORK PROGRAMME

(2017 – 2020)

Upgrading the Comprehensive Strategic

Partnership to a higher level

At the invitation of H.E. Li Keqiang, Premier

of the State Council of the People’s Republic

of China, H.E. Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Prime

Minister of the Kingdom of Denmark made an

official visit to China from 2-5 May 2017. During

the visit President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang

and Chairman of the Standing Committee of

China’s National People’s Congress Zhang Dejiang

held talks respectively with Prime Minister Lars

Løkke Rasmussen.

Both sides agreed that the China-Denmark

bilateral relations have maintained good

momentum since the two countries established

diplomatic ties 67 years ago. Since the

establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic

Partnership in 2008 between the two countries,

our bilateral relations have accelerated and

strengthened, expanding both in depth and in

width. The heads of state of China and Denmark

exchanged state visits in 2012 and 2014. With the

partnership further deepening, trade and two-way

investment growing positively and people-to-

people exchanges becoming more and more active,

the bilateral relationship between China and

Denmark has reached an all-time high.

To further enrich the implementation of the China-

Denmark Comprehensive Strategic Partnership

and to better enhance mutually beneficial

cooperation, the two sides decided to jointly

launch a “China Denmark Joint Work Programme

(2017-2020)”. The Joint Work Programme builds

upon elements of the development strategies of the

two countries, including China’s 13th Five-year

Plan and the Danish Government Platform, and

covers the main areas and mechanisms of ongoing

bilateral cooperation.

Both sides concurred that the Programme provides

the framework for future pragmatic cooperation.

Both sides will actively and comprehensively

implement the Programme, and evaluate and

modify the Programme in due course.
