Denmark today expressed eagerness to expand cooperation with Gujarat and develop partnerships with the state government in various sectors.
Danish Ambassador to India Taksoe Jensen Peter paid a courtesy visit to Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel at Gandhinagar and held discussion with her on increasing bilateral cooperation, an official press release said.
During the meet, Patel invited Denmark to participate in projects across various sectors such as wind energy, smart city, food processing and generation of electricity from waste.
Since the Scandinavian country has expertise in urban development, she urged the envoy to share their knowledge in the field with Gujarat, where the Centre has identified six cities to make them 'smart', the release said.
Patel also sought Denmark's cooperation in building partnership with Gujarat Government to upgrade health infrastructure in rural areas, especially for screening of women for breast and cervical cancer.
Responding positively to her appeal, Peter expressed eagerness to develop partnerships with Gujarat in various sectors, it added.
