- The document "A Fair Direction for Denmark" describes a number of goals for the coming government, but one very important topic is not mentioned with a single word: the efforts for the world's persecuted Christians and freedom of belief.

- As Secretary General, I have visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times and felt the sincere interest of the staff to help persecuted Christians and other persecuted minorities through diplomatic channels because of their beliefs.

- It is the wish of the Danish Mission to Europe that the good work initiated by the previous government, whose potential has not yet been realized, not only continues, but can be further developed under the new government, says Samuel Nymann Eriksen, Secretary General of the Danish Mission to Europe.
