Danish solutions are the perfect match for the Bio-Circular-Green economy agenda in Thailand 🌾♻️

By utilising concrete Danish solutions such as advanced natural ingredients for food and feed as well as modern farm management systems, energy-efficient pumps and other new innovations, Thai food and agriculture companies can reduce costs, increase resource efficiency and decrease their environmental footprint. Thereby, both companies, consumers and the environment will benefit from the green transition.

Denmark has a new government! 🇩🇰

Mette Frederiksen has been reappointed as Prime Minister of Denmark and will lead the new government consisting of parties across the political centre. The new government consists of The Social Democratic Party, The Liberal Party, and The Moderates.
Together, the three parties make a majority government.

Majority governments are a rarity in Danish politics, where minority governments have been more common. A majority government has not been seen in Denmark since 1993/94.

The formation of the government is historic in several ways. The negotiations of the new government have been the longest in modern times and a government represented by parties from both sides of the parliament has not been seen since the late 1970s.

SOS is a non-profit organisation that supports food security by collecting and distributing good quality surplus food using advanced operations. Their organisation in Thailand was launched in 2016, and they have since gone on to save and serve more than 25 million high quality meals to more than 1,000 communities across the country.

Danish heritage on display in Bangkok in December 💡🇩🇰🇹🇭

During this year’s “Awakening Bangkok" lighting festival a new location is making its debut.

The East Asiatic Building - a building with a significant Danish history – has been added to the list of venues for the popular lighting installation festival.

The East Asiatic Building functioned as the headquarters of The East Asiatic Company; a Danish company which occupies a unique position in the historical relationship between Denmark and Thailand 🇹🇭🤝🇩🇰
The East Asiatic Company was deeply involved in the commercial life of Thailand during the first half of the 20th century and became the foundation for international trade in Bangkok.

The East Asiatic building, which now takes part in “Awakening Bangkok”, is seen as one of Thailand’s important architectural landmarks.
It is registered as a national heritage site and signifies more than 100 years of close Thai-Danish relations 🇹🇭🇩🇰

The “Awakening Bangkok” festival runs from 16-25 December.

Today is ! ✊

Protecting human rights is a crucial commitment for Denmark, both domestically and internationally.

Why? Because citizens living with freedom, security, and dignity will be creative, compassionate, and have a high degree of trust in each other.
From this perspective, human rights are essential for stability and peaceful coexistence, for a thriving and innovative economy, and for artistic imagination and creativity 🙌
