(28 Sep 2016) Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and his wife Crown Princess Mary were in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday as part of a weeklong visit to the US to promote Danish business opportunities and cooperation.
Crown Prince Frederik spoke at the US Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning and underscored the strong and historic relationship between the United States and Demark.
He also appealed to the Chamber to encourage transatlantic business partnerships between the two nations and urged American companies to consider Denmark as a potential home for international offices and headquarters.
"In the United Nations World Happiness report, we have for several years been ranked as the happiest people in the world. So we hope that more American companies will give us a serious look in the future," the prince joked.
The couple's business promotional campaign is focusing on the areas of food products, clean tech, health solutions and the maritime trade.
The United States is Denmark's third largest export market.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will leave Washington for Boston on Thursday.
