Speaking about the historic relationship between India and Denmark, Christian said, “It is a historic relationship between our countries. My mother visited India in 1963. Like my mother, we had the opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal.”
India and Denmark's diplomatic relations, which were established in September 1949, are marked by regular high-level exchanges.
Bilateral relations were elevated to the level of “Green Strategic Partnership” during the Virtual Summit held in 2020.
