Bilateral relations between China and Denmark have undergone positive developments backed by a number of high level visits from both sides since the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership in 2008.
"We think it is very promising for Chinese-Danish relations, also commercial relations. Last year we had the honor of the visit of the president of the People's Republic of China," he said.
Lykketoft regarded Yu's visit as another important step in developing ties in trade, investment, science and technology, saying it will deepen the partnership between the two nations.
In fact, Denmark is the only state in the Nordic region and also one of few in Europe, which has a comprehensive strategic partnership with China. And this year marks the fifth anniversary of such a partnership between China and Denmark.
Lykketoft also considered Yu's visit to Denmark as recognition from the Chinese side that Denmark has very good, cordial and friendly and extensive relations with China and the strong Sino-Danish ties can be also deepened in the commercial and industrial fields.
Yu, together with a large delegation, will also hold talks with representatives of Danish industries to explore the possibility of wider cooperation between the two countries' enterprises on sustainable development and ecological civilization construction.
