mls Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Article about the business side and the importance of the visit in Børsen business. http://borsen.dk/nyheder/avisen/artikel/11/181387/artikel.html "55 companies join when the Crown Prince couple officially opens a historically big business promotion on Tuesday. There is focus on the most important Danish export sectors - health, food and design. And the chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in Japan is looking forward to the fact that the royal visit with such a massive business backing can put even more on export."Considering that Japan is one of the richest countries in the world, it should rank far higher than Denmark's 11th most important export market. Therefore, we hope that the royal visit and all round-table conversations in the course of the week with high-ranking Japanese can be the starting point for strengthened cooperation, not least between the authorities of the two countries, "Stefan Linde Jakobsen, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Japan and also Coloplast's country manager points out."
