- We contribute by creating awareness, being part of the platform that allows the right people to meet and exchange experience and knowledge, but hopefully also build new partnerships for the benefit of both countries, says Crown Princess Mary, who for the first time time is in India.

 

The last time the crown prince was in India was 20 years ago, when the couple had just met. Now they are in the country together for the first time.

- It's great to be able to travel together. We have done this many times before since we got married. For me, for both of us, it is a pleasure to be able to enter into a partnership, also when we are at the head of a large business delegation, says Crown Prince Frederik.
