The Danish Parliamentarian Ombudsman visits China

From June 19 to June 22 the Danish Parliamentarian Ombudsman, Mr. Jørgen Steen Sørensen, paid an official visit to China. During the visit the Ombudsman signed cooperation agreements with the Ministry of Supervision and the State Bureau of Letters and Calls and met with Mr. Huang Shuxian, Minister of Ministry of Supervision and Ms. Shu Xiaoqin, director of State Bureau of Letters and Calls.

The visit and the signing of the cooperation agreements were the culmination of an on-going contact through a ten year period. Most recently, delegations from the Ministry of Supervision and the State Bureau of Letters and Calls visited Denmark in the Autumn 2012 and January 2013 respectively. These visits have led to the recently completed visit to China.

The two cooperation agreements are broadly drafted, and in the near future the institutions will start planning the further cooperation, including defining the exact themes of cooperation and time schedules.
