India and Denmark signed a G2G agreement in the dairy sector to establish a Center of Excellence in Himachal Pradesh. This will be a physical setup with cutting-edge Danish dairy technology installed throughout the chain. Both countries have had a long-standing relationship in the dairy sector since the days of Operation Flood. Danish cows are highly valued in India due to their high milk productivity and nutritional value. Denmark, in fact, is synonymous with Dairy in India.
During an official visit to Denmark on May 3-4, 2022, Her Excellency Ms. Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark, hosted His Excellency Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of the Republic of India.
The two Prime Ministers welcomed the Letter of Intent to establish a Green Shipping Center of Excellence, which will strengthen bilateral maritime cooperation. The two leaders also agreed to expand agricultural cooperation through a Joint Declaration of Intent to establish, among other things, a Dairy Centre of Excellence.
India and Denmark are collaborating in technology, research and development, capacity building, policy and regulations, and learning from each other’s experiences under the umbrella of a unique partnership called the ‘Green Strategic Partnership.’
