BEIJING, Jan 27 (Reuters) \u2013 China and Denmark<\/a> have renewed an agreement on cooperating in green maritime technology and shipbuilding, China\u2019s industry ministry said on Tuesday, reaffirming a long-term partnership in the sector.<\/p>\n

The renewal comes amid heightened tensions between Denmark and U.S. President Donald Trump, who has said he wants to control Denmark\u2019s semi-autonomous island of Greenland to protect the Arctic region from security threats, including China.<\/p>\n

China is willing to conduct joint research and development with Denmark on low-carbon and zero-carbon fuel-powered ship technologies and explore cooperation in the new energy vehicle sector, Chinese Industry Minister Li Lecheng told Danish Business and Industry Minister Morten Bodskov, according to a readout of their meeting from the Chinese side.<\/p>\n

Li also told Bodskov that China was willing to deepen \u201cstrategic alignment\u201d with Denmark and contribute more to global green development.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with Bodskov\u2019s talks in Beijing was an official visit by Petteri Orpo, the prime minister of Finland, a leader in the design and production of icebreaker ships needed to ply emerging Arctic trade routes.<\/p>\n

Orpo, who is in Beijing from January 25 to 28, told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that he looked forward to continued discussions on bilateral cooperation and international issues, according to a media pool report of their meeting.<\/p>\n

The pledges by the two Nordic countries to expand cooperation with Beijing stand in sharp contrast to Trump\u2019s narrative that China is a security threat to the Arctic region.<\/p>\n

Beijing\u2019s agreement with Denmark also portrays China as more in step with Nordic states than Trump, who has described the green industry as the \u201cGreen New Scam.\u201d<\/p>\n
