And now I'm so happy that the Indian government has now also started talking about green growth as a main priority for India towards Bixit Barrack," Denmark's envoy said.During their visit, the Crown Prince of Denmark Frederik Andre Henrik Christian and Crown Princess, Mary Elizabeth will visit Tamil Nadu next week to discuss the green energy sector, Envoy Freddy Svane said.During an exclusive interview with ANI, Svane said, "As I've said early on, Tamil Nadu is a prime destination for Danish or private investments. And we have many, many Danish companies down there, especially with the energy sector and much of the global supply chain for the wind industry. Meaning the wind turbines, the plates and all that and cables, whatever you need have been, let's say, concentrated and consolidated in Tamil Nadu.""So it makes sense for us with a focus on the green transition, energy transition, renewables, that we also pay a visit with our royals, the ministers, but also our companies to Tamil Nadu," he added.The visit of the Royal Couple will be the first ever from the Danish Royal family in two decades.
