Express News Service NEW DELHI: Applauding India on the way it handled the pandemic, Danish Ambassador to India Freddy Svane said that the lockdown here was imposed on a timely basis after much due diligence. He also asserted that Green Strategic Partnership will serve as a platform for improvement for both India and Denmark. India and Denmark have had strong ties over the years. How do you think India-Denmark relations evolved? India and Denmark are both democracies and have shared values with respect to environment, people and a host of other issues. This has helped relations between the two countries grow. The forward growth in ties was visible during the virtual bilateral summit between the two prime ministers last year. New heights were scaled in ties with the announcement of the Green Strategic Partnership, where the two countries will enhance cooperation towards building a green society.
