'There will be FOMO for those missing investment opportunities in India': PM Modi in Denmark

In a joint statement to the media following the talks in Copenhagen, PM Modi said: "During the India-Denmark Virtual Summit in October 2020, we gave our relationship the status of a Green Strategic Partnership. During our discussion today, we reviewed the joint work plan of our Green Strategic Partnership."

The two leaders held talks in a one-on-one format, followed by delegation-level talks.

Discussions covered cooperation in renewable energy, especially offshore wind energy and green hydrogen, as well as skill development, health, shipping, water and the Arctic, among others.

"I am happy that significant progress has been made in various fields, especially in the areas of renewable energy, health, ports, shipping, circular economy and water management," PM Modi said.

He appreciated the positive contribution of Danish companies in India to the cou

ntry's flagship programmes.

"More than 200 Danish companies are operating in various areas in India – such as wind energy, shipping, consultancy, food processing, engineering. There are many such areas, they are getting the benefit of increasing 'Ease of Doing Business' in India and our macroeconomic reforms," he said.

"These days the term FOMO or ‘fear of missing out’ is gaining traction on social media. Looking at India’s reforms and investment opportunities, I can say that those who don’t invest in our nation will certainly miss out," he added.

Prime Minister Frederiksen highlighted the positive role of Indian companies in Denmark.

Both leaders lauded the expanding people to people ties between the two countries and welcomed the Declaration of Intent on a migration and mobility partnership.

Both leaders also exchanged views on regional and global issues.

"Today, we also discussed a number of regional and global issues, including India-EU relations, Indo-Pacific and Ukraine. We hope that negotiations on the India-EU Free Trade Agreement will be concluded as soon as possible," PM Modi said.

On the Ukraine conflict, the Indian PM said:  "We called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and adoption of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the problem."

They also discussed our cooperation in the field of climate.

"India is also committed to fulfilling the resolutions taken at the Glasgow COP-26. We have agreed to explore more opportunities for cooperation in the Arctic region," said PM Modi.
