Korea will strengthen its alliance with Demark in developing green growth technologies with the hosting of the Green Growth Alliance meeting on Tuesday in Seoul.

It is the second time the leaders of the two nations are gathering to work on developing environmentally friendly technologies and sustainable energy sources.

The two sides first forged an alliance to collaborate on green growth in May 2011 during President Lee Myung-bak’s visit to Copenhagen.

The alliance is aimed at combining Korea’s strong manufacturing capabilities and Denmark’s top-notch eco-friendly technologies to tap into potential green growth markets.

Officials from Denmark including the Danish Crown Prince Frederik arrived Korea last week to attend the second Green Growth Alliance meeting.

On Tuesday, the governments and leading companies of the two sides will sign a total of 13 memoranda of understanding to expand their cooperation in green business, officials said.
