Denmark will create a position "DJITAL-DOST"

Denmark will send the first DJITAL-SUMS in the world in Google, IBM, Apple and Microsoft. About this, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Denmark Anders Samuelsen told Politiken.

“These companies have become comparable to the peoples, and we must cooperate with them. They affect Denmark in the same way as all countries, ”Samuelsen said.

The economic power and influence of some companies on the Denmark’s economy can be stronger than the influence of those countries with which the kingdom has “classical diplomatic relations,” he said. At the same time, Denmark will not refuse diplomatic relations with countries, Samuelsen said.

The goal of "DJITAL-POSIS" is to make Denmark attractive for foreign investment.

Representatives of the Danish branch of Microsoft welcomed the sending of diplomats, but did not agree that their company is comparable to the nation.

On January 19, Facebook announced that he would build new data centers in Denmark. Three years of negotiations and preparation preceded this.
