The newly appointed Danish Ambassador to the Philippines, Jan Top Christensen paid a courtesy call on Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA Director-General Arsenio M. Balisacan on October 2 to set expectations on the Philippines’ economic relations with the Kingdom of Denmark. Christensen’s visit follows the re-opening of the Danish Embassy in Manila last August after it stopped its operations 12 years ago.
During the meeting, the Ambassador expressed Denmark’s interests for stronger economic relations with the Philippines through business-to-business engagements such as facilitating business connections with Danish companies and generation of quality jobs. These include firms in shipping, oil and gas, manufacturing, medical equipment, pharmaceutical, and renewable energy industries.
