Danish parliament speaker calls for green transition cooperation with China
COPENHAGEN, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Denmark and China should enhance cooperation in green technology and sustainable industries for the future, Soren Gade, Speaker of the Danish Parliament (Folketing) said on Monday. Speaking to Xinhua at a reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Denmark to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic ties, Gade expressed confidence that the two countries will further expand their green partnership, especially in light of the global push for sustainable development and green transition. "We are very much involved in green tech, and China is as well. We will continue to cooperate on the green transition in the years to come," he said. He said that cooperation between Denmark and China has deepened across various fields over the past 75 years. "Denmark and China have enjoyed increasingly close cooperation in many areas. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen just visited China last month, which demonstrates the high level of our bilateral relations," Gade said. The parliament speaker highlighted strong existing cooperation in wind power, battery technology, and new energy vehicles, adding that these areas should remain key focuses for future collaboration. "China is always at the forefront in these areas, and I see no reason why our cooperation should not continue and deepen in the years to come," he said. Gade noted that he had visited China many times, including during a 2014 state visit with then Danish Queen Margrethe II. "China is a huge country with a large number of consumers. This is why many Danish companies are eager to develop in China," he said. "At the same time, China is a very friendly and welcoming place to visit."

Denmark Raises Retirement Age to 70 by 2040
Taarek Refaat The Danish Parliament passed a new law on Thursday raising the official retirement age to 70 by 2040, up from the current age of 67. According to the parliament's website (Folketing), 81 MPs voted in favor of the law, while 21 voted against. Since 2006, Denmark has had a system that links the official retirement age to life expectancy, which is reviewed every five years. Under this system, the retirement age will rise to 68 in 2030 and then to 69 in 2035. The new law stipulates that the retirement age will be 70 for all persons born after December 31, 1970, meaning that future generations will work longer before retiring. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, 47, of the Social Democratic Party, said last year that she was prepared to review the system once the retirement age was fixed at 70. "We no longer believe that the retirement age should automatically rise," she told Berlingske newspaper in August 2024. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
