Embracing globalization: Danish prime minister visits Berkeley
Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen of Denmark visited UC Berkeley last June and gave a talk entitled “Partnership in a Globalized World: A Declaration of Interdependence.”
Describing global competition as an opportunity to forge new international partnerships, he outlined his concept for a 21st century trans-Atlantic alliance that would enable Europe and the United States to confront the opportunities and challenges of globalization together while helping to ensure security and prosperity worldwide.
“Globalization is a fact, and we have to embrace it,” Rasmussen said. He was accompanied by 30 colleagues from the Danish government and industry in his visit to Berkeley, one of seven U.S. university partners of the University of Copenhagen.
The event was sponsored by CITRIS, the Center
for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society. Video of Rasmussen's talk can be viewed at mms://media.citris.berkeley.edu/Anders_Fogh_Rasmussen. |
