The MoU was a good example of how sustainable technology and collaboration can help strengthen the 'Green Strategic Partnership' between Denmark and India. This mutually beneficial arrangement enables Denmark to deliver sustainable solutions to India that will help both countries, Svane said.

The Green Strategy Partnership between Denmark and India was a key step in strengthening the collaboration between the two countries. The partnership is highly important — where both countries focus on expanding economic ties and cooperation on global challenges such as climate change, the statement added.
