Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs visits DHI Singapore

On Monday, 15 April 2013, a delegation from the Danish Ministry of foreign affairs headed by minister Mr. Villy Søvndal, visited DHI Singapore on their way to Indonesia. The delegation was introduced to DHI’s activities in South East Asia and in particular Singapore, during a cruise in Singapore harbour.

DHI invited the Director of AP Møller Mærsk, Rene Piil Pedersen, and Director of Terma, Jesper Tolstrup, to elaborate and assist in explaining the “Singapore story” to the Minister. The Danish ambassador to Singapore, Ms. Berit Basse, and staff from the embassy joined the trip. The 2.5 hours on board and following evening reception gave rich opportunity for DHI to informally discuss the role of DHI supporting the Singapore industry and society.
