ZAGREB/COPENHAGEN, May 5 (Hina) - The Croatian Deputy Foreign
Minister, Ivo Sanader, and the Permanent Secretary of the Danish
Foreign Ministry, Friis Arne Petersen, held talks on bilateral
relations in Copenhagen on Tuesday.
They agreed that relations should be expanded, especially in the
area of economic cooperation.
Sanader and Petersen expressed satisfaction with the development
of Croat-Danish relations so far as well as with the agreement on
succession to 12 bilateral contracts which are about to come into
force, the Croatian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Special attention was given to Croatia nearing European
associations. Petersen expressed Denmark's support for further
development of relations between Croatia and the European Union
through fulfilment of set obligations, among which the return of
displaced and refugees takes a special place.
Sanader recalled the steps which Croatia has taken so far,
stressing its contribution to normalising the situation and
achieving long-term stability in the region.
Sanader invited Petersen to officially visit Croatia, which he
accepted.
Sanader also had talks with the head of the foreign trade
secretariat of the Danish Foreign Ministry, Ulrik Helveg-Larsen.
The two officials said that Danish entrepreneurs have a great
interest in investing in Croatia, especially in infrastructure.
They agreed that the existing volume of trade between the two
countries was not sufficient and that there existed significant
possibilities for its increase.
Sanader met with the deputy political director for European
integration, Theis Truelsen.
