Medvedev to hold talks with Danish PM, tour Green Beacon.
COPENHAGEN, April 28 (Itar-Tass) - Talks with the Danish Prime
Minister, a meeting with businessmen, and a tour of the ecological
building are on Wednesday's business part of the programme for the State
visit of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Denmark.
Upon leaving his signature, according to a long-standing tradition, on
the window glass in the Harsdorf Hall in the Royal Fredensborg Palace, the
Russian Head of State will leave for Copenhagen on Wednesday morning. He
will attend a Russo-Danish business forum which is to be held in the
newest compound TAB1 for conferences, exhibitions, and concerts. It was
built at the site of the former Carlsberg brewery in the south-eastern
part of the capital.
Later in the day Medvedev is to hold talks with Danish Prime Minister
Lars Lekke Rasmussen in the Christiansborg Palace, where a ceremony
marking the signing of official documents and a news conference will be
held as well. Over there, in the Royal Library, the Russian Head of State
will hold an informal meeting with the CEOs of major companies that
operate in Russia.
In the middle of the day, the Russian President will get acquainted
with the Green Beacon -- Denmark's first office building which does not
discharge greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The experimental structure
with a futuristic design houses the science department of Copenhagen
University. The cost of the building, which was put into use in October
2009, was about $7.4 million.
The Green Beacon independently generates energy it needs. As compared
with the current norms, energy consumption in the building with an area of
950 square metres has been reduced by three-fourths with the maintenance
of a high level of comfort for people working there. This is resultant of
the maximum use of solar energy and natural ventilation. The Green Beacon
is the pilot project of a new energy strategy being worked out in Denmark.
The strategy is based on renunciation of fossil energy resources.
In the meantime, Svetlana Medvedev will visit Rosenborg Palace, one of
the most attractive places in the heart of Copenhagen. The Royal Garden
around it is the favourite place for city residents' strolls. During the
visit Russia's First Lady will be accompanied by Crown Princess Mary.
A gala concert to be given by the leading ballet dancers of the
Bolshoi, Maryinsky and Mikhailovsky theatres in the Tivoli Concert Gall
will be the concluding phase of Medvedev's State visit. The Danish royal
family and numerous guests will see nine excerpts from the most famous
ballets, including those from the Swan Lake and Don Quixote. Besides, the
Tivoli management put on sale about 1,000 tickets at a price of 210-420
kroner ($42-84). Proceeds from the sale will be handed over to Russian
children's homes.
The President of Russia and his wife arrived here on Monday night and,
following a welcoming ceremony, headed for the Royal residence - the
Fredensborg Palace. His motorcade was escorted enroute by mounted royal
hussars.
Dmitry and Svetlana Medvedev had their pictures taken as mementoes
together with the Queen of Denmark and Prince Consort, and then went over
to the Amber Drawing-Room where they exchanged presents. The Russian
leader presented a box, made in Fedoskino Village, which is famous for
Russian folk arts and crafts, to Margrethe II. The box lid is ornamented
with a lacquered miniature representing Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the
Saviour. Medvedev presented Prince Consort with a miniature sculpture of
Peter the Great Frigate. This is a replica of the Russian Tsar's ship,
manufactured with the use of Krasnoye Selo fabric technique. The President
of the RF also presented the Royal family with a film from the Formula of
Power series made by Itar-Tass in conjunction with the VGTRK All-Russia
television and radio broadcasting company. The film is about the Danish
Queen and her family.
Late on Tuesday night, a state banquet was given in the Fredensborg
Palace on behalf of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Consort Henrik in honour
of President Dmitry Medvedev and his wife.
