2018年是中國与丹麦建立全面战略伙伴关系的第十个年头。十年来，两国在包括健康、食品与农业、知识产权和市场监管、文化、旅游、海事、政法事务和城市发展等58个领域都开展了广泛的合作。中国已成为丹麦在亚洲最大的贸易伙伴，也是欧盟以外第二大贸易伙伴。2018年，中国在丹麦的投资从2017年的2.9亿美元增至11亿美元。除经贸合作外，中丹两国在人文交流领域也一直保持着良好的互动。2017年“中丹旅游年”期间，丹麦国家旅游局在中国推出了“童话丹麦”“美食丹麦”和“设计丹麦”等不同主题的深度游产品，满足中国游客对丹麦广袤的自然风光和丰富的人文历史的探索欲望。
　　乘着“童话丹麦”的东风，2018年12月1日，以“安徒生童话故事与天府文化的对话”为主题的首届中丹绘画创意活动在四川成都举行。《海的女儿》《卖火柴的小女孩》《皇帝的新衣》等安徒生童话故事深深地影响了一代又一代中国的孩童。活动中，丹麦驻重庆总领事乐慕胜就丹中两国的经贸合作、人文交流分享了自己的观点。
　　“我非常看好中国西南地区的发展活力”
　　2018年，丹麦商务代表团到四川考察了双流机场、四川自贸区等地，深深地被四川的快速发展和前景吸引。丹方表示，希望与四川进一步扩大在商贸、能源、生命科学、食品安全、健康、人文等领域的交流合作，双方要进一步加强企业间往来，拓展在国际友城、基础设施建设、绿色能源、食品卫生等领域的友好合作，尤其要把握2018年底开通的成都—哥本哈根直飞航线的合作机遇。
　　“我非常看好中国西南地区的发展潜力，近几年云贵川渝等地的投资机遇也越来越多，我们希望通过举办投资推介活动和商务洽谈，引进更多丹麦企业来这里投资。”乐慕胜告诉记者。目前四川已与丹麦在基础设施建设、教育等领域展开了合作，2018年10月，中丹共同创办的霍森斯小学幼儿园成功开学，成为双方教育合作的典范。丹麦许多企业，如马士基、嘉士伯、乐高、潘多拉、爱步等都早已在四川投资。在中国生活了11年的乐慕胜非常了解中国，出任丹麦驻重庆总领事两年来，他充分利用这一优势，帮助更多丹麦企业了解中国、了解西南地区，为他们的投资决策提供了有价值的参考意见。

　　“希望通过我们的积极引导，促成更多的丹中合作项目。”乐慕胜表示，自2008年金融危机后来到中国生活，他亲眼见证了中国摆脱经济危机的影响，高质量发展经济的步伐。他盛赞道，“中国正以更加开放包容的态度走向世界，基础设施更加完善，道路更加畅通，旅游业更加发达，人民生活水平更高，这是一个国家发达开放、国际化的重要表现。”
　　“以文化先行推动‘—带一路’框架下的中丹合作”
　　丹麦是亚投行的创始成员国之一。丹麦首相拉斯穆森在出席首届“‘一带一路’国际合作高峰论坛”期间表示，丹方愿意在多层面积极参与“一带一路”建设，同中方共同努力，深度挖掘两国在医疗保健、食品、教育、文化、旅游、足球等领域的合作潜力，推动丹中经贸合作和人文交流再上新台阶。
　　提到合作交流，乐慕胜说道，“‘一带一路’框架下的合作包罗万象，涵盖贸易、基础设施建设、教育、文化等多个领域。”“一带一路”让我们拥抱彼此的文化，而文化又是推动“一带一路”建设的先行者，“文化交流能够为两国的商业合作带来更多的优势和机遇。”
　　丹麦以“童话王国”著称，在当天举办的以童话为主题的文化交流活动中，成都小朋友将安徒生童话故事中的人物与天府文化中的熊猫、火锅等元素完美结合，发挥天马行空的想象力，演绎新的童话故事。
　　以童话促进中丹双方文化交流由来已久，早在19世纪，安徒生就曾创作了中国题材的作品《夜莺》。乐慕胜笑着说道，安徒生每一个童话故事都有一个深刻的道理，“比如我最喜欢的‘丑小鸭’就告诉我们，不能以貌取人，要以平等的心态对待每一个人。”
　　另一个促进文化交流的重要因素，旅游在中丹交流中的比例也在不断攀升。2018年底开通的成都—哥本哈根直航为两国人民的友好交流创造了更有利的条件。乐慕胜表示，“希望更多的中国人能去丹麦旅游，也有更多丹麦人来中国来四川，实地了解这里不一样的风土人情和文化风貌。”

　　Back to the 19th century， Andersen wrote aChina-themed story The Nightingale， which can beseen as an attempt to boost China-Denmark culturalexchange through fairy tales. "There is always aprofound truth behind each ofAndersen's fairy tales，"Mr. Rasmussen said with a smile， "Taking my favorite'The Ugly Duckling' as an example， the story tells usthat one should not judge others by appearance buttreat everyone as equals."
