President Han: We thank Folketing Member Pia Kjærsgaard for supporting Taiwan and increasing Taiwan’s visibility on global stage in the past 30 years.)
立法院韓國瑜院長於本（11月13）日上午在國民黨陳菁徽委員、民進黨陳培瑜委員、民眾黨陳昭姿委員、國際事務處楊芳苓副處長及外交部歐洲司李秀窈副秘書長等人陪同下，接見「丹麥國會議員訪問團」柯絲高（Pia Kjærsgaard）議員一行5人。
On the morning of November 13, President of the Legislative Yuan Daniel K.Y. Han, accompanied by KMT Legislator Chen Ching-Hui, DPP Legislator Chen Pei-Yu, TPP Legislator Chen Gau-Tzu, Deputy Director of the Department of International Affairs Yang Fang-Ling, and Deputy Secretary General of the European Affairs Department Li Hsiu-Yao, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, met with a five-member delegation from the Danish parliament led by Folketing Member Pia Kjærsgaard.
韓院長首先向訪賓表達熱忱歡迎，嗣偕在場委員與訪賓合影後，繼稱今日出席的委員來自跨黨派，象徵對訪團的高度重視。院長致歡迎詞時首先誠摯感謝丹麥國會議員以實際訪台表達對我國強力的支持，尤其團長柯絲高議員自1987年起訪台8次，拜會過我國多位歷任總統及立法院，並多次在丹麥國會提出友我議案，力挺台灣，提升我國際社會關注度，為深化台丹友好夥伴關係努力付出至今已逾30年，可謂是丹麥國會中台灣最好的摯友。
President Han first extended a warm welcome to the delegation. After taking a group photo with the attending legislators and guests, he noted that the presence of cross-party legislators today symbolizes the Legislative Yuan’s high regard for the visiting delegation. In his welcome remarks, President Han extended his heartfelt gratitude to the members of the Danish Folketing for their visit, which demonstrates their strong support for Taiwan. He particularly acknowledged the delegation leader, Folketing Member Pia Kjærsgaard, who has visited Taiwan eight times since 1987. Over the years, she has met with multiple former Taiwanese presidents and Legislative Yuan members, proposed numerous pro-Taiwan resolutions in the Danish Folketing, and has consistently advocated for Taiwan, raising international awareness and fostering stronger ties. Her dedication to deepening the Taiwan-Denmark partnership spans over 30 years, making her one of Taiwan's closest and dearest friends in the Danish Folketing.
院長繼提及，丹麥的安徒生童話可謂是家喻戶曉，舉凡《小美人魚》、《醜小鴨》、《打火匣》、《小克勞斯和大克勞斯》等都是人人耳熟能詳的經典童話故事。英國大文豪威廉．莎士比亞（William Shakespeare）的作品《哈姆雷特》，其故事背景亦取自於丹麥的卡隆堡（Kronborg Slot，又稱哈姆雷特宮），該地區於2000年被「聯合國教科文組織」（UNESCO）列為世界文化遺產。此外，丹麥發明標誌性的玩具積木「樂高」（丹麥語「leg godt」，意為「玩得好」），丹麥木匠克里斯蒂安森（Ole Kirk Christiansen）於1932年創立了樂高集團，丹麥各式各樣的文學與藝術作品，對今日世人有著深遠的影響。
President Han further noted that the fairy tales of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen are universally renowned. Timeless classics such as The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Tinderbox, and Little Claus and Big Claus are stories that have become household names, cherished by generations around the world. The masterpiece Hamlet by the distinguished British playwright William Shakespeare is set against the backdrop of Kronborg Slot (also known as Hamlet’s Castle) in Denmark. This historic site was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. In addition, Denmark is the birthplace of the iconic LEGO toy bricks. The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen, deriving its name from the Danish phrase "leg godt," meaning "play well." Denmark's diverse literary and artistic creations have had a profound influence on the world today.
院長續謂，丹麥是全球綠色能源的領導者，係全球致力投入綠色能源轉型的國家之一，目前該國超過40%的電力是來自於綠能發電，並設定2050年達成終止石油及天然氣開採的目標，盼未來台灣能與丹麥合作，將台灣打造為亞洲綠能產業的重要據點。經濟交流方面，前（2022）年丹麥對台灣之投資總額達243億丹麥克朗，成為歐洲對台最大的投資國。依據丹麥外交部去（2023）年公布的數據，過去5年丹麥出口台灣貿易額呈3倍數成長，從23億丹麥克朗增加到67億丹麥克朗，期盼台丹未來在更多領域進行更緊密的合作，為彼此創造互惠雙贏。
President Han further remarked that Denmark is a global leader in green energy and one of the countries most dedicated to the renewable energy transition. Currently, over 40% of Denmark's electricity is generated from green energy sources, and the country has set a goal to cease oil and natural gas extraction by 2050. President Han expressed his hope for future collaboration between Taiwan and Denmark to transform Taiwan into a key hub for the green energy industry in Asia. In terms of economic exchanges, Denmark's total investment in Taiwan reached 24.3 billion Danish kroner in 2022, making it the largest European investor in Taiwan. According to data released last year (2023) by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Denmark's export trade volume to Taiwan has tripled over the past five years, increasing from 2.3 billion Danish kroner to 6.7 billion Danish kroner. It is hoped that Taiwan and Denmark will engage in closer cooperation across more fields in the future, creating mutual benefits and a win-win situation for both sides.
最後院長與訪賓分享，立法院本（第11）屆113席委員，其中55位是新科委員，而女性立委則有47位，占總席次高達41%，高度展現我國國會對兩性平權議題的重視，也體現女性對政治的影響力逐漸擴大。
Lastly, President Han shared with the guests that among the 113 seats in the current (11th) Legislative Yuan, 55 are held by newly elected legislators, and 47 seats, or 41% of the total, are occupied by female legislators. This demonstrates the Legislative Yuan's strong commitment to gender equality and reflects the growing influence of women in politics.
柯絲高議員致詞時表示，她對台灣的觀察超過30年，自第一次來台訪問李登輝前總統至今，深刻感受到台灣在各領域包含環境、經濟以及民主政治的進步，而此行訪台盼透過與各領域部門對話，瞭解台灣刻正所面臨的威脅及需要。她表示此次感受到台灣民眾熱情友好、社會開放自由，亦實地瞭解我國產業現況及發展情形，對於我國電子業蓬勃發展印象深刻，期望未來台丹雙方在綠能、科技等產業領域有更多合作機會。柯絲高議員最後表示，此次率多位議員來台，正是為了傳達對台灣的支持，盼訪團成員與立院有更多交流互動。
In her remarks, Folketing Member Kjærsgaard shared that she has been observing Taiwan for over 30 years, starting from her first visit to meet former President Lee Teng-Hui. She expressed deep admiration for Taiwan's progress in various fields, including environmental protection, economic development, and democratic governance. During this visit, she said she hoped to engage in dialogues with representatives from different sectors to better understand the challenges and needs Taiwan is currently facing. She remarked that during this visit, she experienced the warmth and friendliness of the Taiwanese people, as well as the openness and freedom of its society. She also gained firsthand insights into Taiwan's industrial landscape and development, expressing particular admiration for the flourishing electronics industry. She hoped that in the future, Taiwan and Denmark will have more opportunities for collaboration in industries such as green energy and technology. Folketing Member Kjærsgaard concluded by stating that leading this delegation of fellow parliamentarians to Taiwan underscores their support for the country. She expressed her hope for more exchanges and interactions between the delegation members and the Legislative Yuan.
雙方互贈紀念品後，院長邀請訪賓至宴客廳共進午餐，席間就台丹教育制度、生育率、貿易投資、工業合作、綠能科技發展及國防建設等議題交流互動，接見及午宴歷約2小時，氣氛熱絡友好，賓客盡歡，為今日會晤畫下圓滿的句點。
After exchanging gifts, President Han invited the guests to a luncheon in the banquet hall. During the meal, they engaged in discussions on topics such as the educational systems of Taiwan and Denmark, birth rates, trade and investment, industrial collaboration, green energy technology development, and national defense. The meeting and luncheon lasted approximately two hours in a warm and friendly atmosphere, leaving the guests delighted and marking a successful conclusion to the day's gathering.
