Prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Socialdemokraterne) and a delegation of business and civic leaders will visit China from September 10-13 to hold talks with representatives of the Chinese leadership.  Thorning-Schmidt hosted China’s president, Hu Jintao, in June. During that visit, the two countries signed agreements in several areas including energy, agriculture, health, culture and education. The prime minister’s office declined to say if those agreements would be discussed, but said that the visit would “focus on Danish business interests in China”. The PM will also speak at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin.
