On August 12, 2024, Ambassador Wang Xuefeng met with Ms. Johannah Christensen, CEO of Global Maritime Forum, to exchange views on the cooperation between Global Maritime Forum and China.

Ambassador Wang elaborated on the key principles regarding ecological conservation construction from the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. He emphasized that under the personal planning of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese government attaches great importance to green development and addressing climate change, and has implemented a comprehensive set of policy measures for decarbonization, and has achieved remarkable results. Both China and Denmark highly value maritime shipping cooperation. In 1974, the two governments signed the Agreement on Maritime Transport and made fruitful achievements. Last year, the two governments released “the Green Joint Work Programme (2023-2026)”, which highlights green shipping as one of the key areas for cooperation. We will actively support the cooperation between the Global Maritime Forum and China, and make positive contributions to promoting the green transition of the global shipping industry. Ms. Christensen elaborated on the main status of Global Maritime Forum and its cooperation with China, expressing the willingness to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China in the field of maritime transport, aiming to accelerate decarbonization and green transition of the global shipping industry.
