Xi: China remains ideal destination for global investors

President Xi Jinping has reiterated that China has been and will remain an ideal, secure and promising destination for foreign investors, as he recently replied to a letter from Simon Lichtenberg, founder of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China.

Believing in China is believing in a better tomorrow, and investing in China is investing in the future, Xi said in the reply, which was published on Thursday.

He said that he appreciated Lichtenberg's deep affection for China and the confidence of Danish enterprises in China regarding the country's future development.

Xi expressed his hope that the chamber, which was established in 1995, and its member enterprises will continue to play the role of a bridge between China and Denmark as well as between China and Europe.

He also encouraged them to make new contributions to enhancing China-Denmark and China-Europe mutual understanding and friendship, as well as deepening China's mutually beneficial cooperation with Denmark and Europe.

In the letter to Xi, Lichtenberg offered his congratulations on the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark and expressed the hope to continue deepening cooperation with China.

Denmark was the second Western country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Thursday that Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen will make an official visit to China from Saturday to Tuesday.

Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular news briefing in Beijing that China-Denmark relations are developing with good momentum and close cooperation in trade and the economy, green development and innovation.

China is Denmark's largest trading partner in Asia and its second-largest overseas investor. In 2024, bilateral trade between China and Denmark reached $15.46 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.8 percent.

"Both sides are supporters of multilateralism and free trade, and have a broad consensus on climate change and other important issues," Lin said.
