Denmark keen to boost Sarawak ties in green technology, high-tech sectors

KUCHING: Denmark is committed to strengthening cooperation with Sarawak in strategic areas including green technology, renewable energy, education and high-tech sectors such as aerospace, quantum technologies and artificial intelligence.

Danish ambassador to Malaysia Kirstine Vangkilde Berner said Denmark holds great respect for the political leadership in Sarawak in driving the green transition.

“Our business delegation is here to offer various solutions in green technologies, including green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and carbon transport technologies.

“This is my first official visit to Sarawak since the Danish embassy in Malaysia reopened last year, and it marks a significant step towards deepening bilateral collaboration,” she said after a courtesy call on Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg at the Satria Pertiwi Complex here.

Berner said Denmark views Malaysia, and Sarawak in particular, as an important hub in the region and is open for business and eager to explore mutually beneficial investment and trade opportunities.

“We are also interested in areas such as education, port development, aerospace, quantum science and AI, which have been identified as promising fields for joint development,” she said, adding that she has extended an invitation to the Sarawak Premier to undertake an official visit to Denmark in the near future.
