Tsai said: “Danish design, art and lifestyle are admired all over the world for their sophistication and minimalism, and there is no doubt that Danish products will become even more popular amongst Chinese customers, enticing an ever-growing number of them to want to travel to the country themselves.”
Samuelsen said: “China is a very promising, but also a challenging market for many Danish companies.
"Chinese consumers have often limited knowledge of Danish products and with the opening of an official Danish pavilion on China’s leading e-commerce market place Tmall Global, we hope to draw attention to Danish products and brands.
"More and more retail is happening online and more in China than anywhere else, it is therefore important that the Danish Foreign Ministry can support Danish companies’ success in this particular area. I believe the establishment of an Official Danish Pavilion on Tmall Global is an important step in that direction.”
