His visit included discussions with Morten Bodskov, Denmark’s Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, where both sides explored ways to deepen existing collaboration and identify new opportunities, particularly in green technology and industry.

Jaishankar’s visit to Denmark, following his official engagements in the Netherlands, reaffirmed the mutual commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation, addressing global challenges, and advancing the Green Strategic Partnership as a model for sustainable and strategic international collaboration.
