His Royal Highness The Crown Prince visits China’s capital Beijing the days of 26-28 September 2018. The Crown Prince will take part in the opening of Denmark’s exhibition at Beijing Design Week, which is being carried out as part of Copenhagen’s partnership with Beijing.

Denmark’s exhibition at Beijing Design Week will focus on Danish lifestyle and will include the participation of leading Danish companies. The themes span from health, food and design to green construction.

Copenhagen is the guest city for Beijing Design Week 2018, which is one of the largest events of its type in Asia. The exhibition is arranged by the City of Copenhagen in cooperation with the Confederation of Danish Industry and the Danish embassy in Beijing. In addition to the exhibition, Copenhagen’s collaboration with Beijing includes a large urban renewal project in the centre of Beijing, where Danish green building solutions are brought into play.

During the visit, The Crown Prince will also take part in a number of business and cultural activities that have the objective of strengthening the relations between Denmark and China. Among other things, these will include The Danish Cultural Centre in Beijing, which also carries out a number of activities during Beijing Design Week.

ROYAL VISIT AT DESIGN SCHOOL KOLDING IN BEIJING: Today Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark stopped by Design School Kolding’s installation the ‘Super Supermarket’ at Beijing Design Week. Evidently, the crown prince found the installation both intriguing and creative. Super Supermarket mimics a real supermarket but is made up of residual materials, supplied by a variety of Danish companies. ..The purpose of the Super Supermarket is to inspire people to think about their consumption and reflect on sustainability and reuse in a sensuous way.

Diplomatic protocol dictates that Frederik should show his respect to the Chinese government at some level, being the representative of the Danish head of state.
As this is not an official visit, but "only" a working visit, that would normally be at some ministerial level, I.e. the foreign ministry or a trade ministry, an environment ministry or something similar, considering Frederik purpose for being in China.

That Frederik is meeting the Vice President is a considerable diplomatic nod.
I think the DK government is very pleased!
 
Is there any discussion about the human rights situation in China in relation to the visit?
 
Is there any discussion about the human rights situation in China in relation to the visit?

What discussion?
What human rights situation?
Tibet is no issue either. :D

Now let's put on the positive hat and look forward. :whistling: ?;)

Seriously. No, this is about money and jobs and the export. With all the bullies ruling the world these years there is no wish for the Danish government nor the opposition to wave the human rights flag around. Considering the global political situation, we can't expect any help from allies if we annoy the Chinese.

Thanks Poly for taking the time to type all that info. Thanks also to Muhler for your insightfullness.
I am just pleased that Frederik has recovered well from the back surgery to be able to travel.
