The two ministers also discussed a mid-term review of the Green Strategic Partnership, with plans to finalize an updated Joint Action Plan and convene the next India-Denmark Joint Commission meeting soon.

These visits underscored the growing depth of cooperation in green energy, technology, and sustainable development.
Freddy Svane’s tenure as Danish Ambassador has been instrumental in advancing the Indo-Danish partnership. His efforts have laid the groundwork for further collaboration under the Green Strategic framework, ensuring mutual benefits for both nations.
