PM Modi and his Danish counterpart Frederiksen also addressed a joint press statement, during which various agreements between India and Denmark were officially signed.

"We share many values. We are two democratic nations, we both believe in a rule-based international system. In times such as these, we need to build an even stronger bridge between us. As close partners, we also discussed the war in Ukraine," Danish PM Frederiksen said.

Furthermore, the two leaders met at the delegation level in Copenhagen to review progress in the two countries' Green Strategic Partnership.

He also went on a private tour to his Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen's residence. During the visit, the Prime Minister was accompanied by the Danish Prime Minister.
