□ 文/本刊记者 李静

2015年9月7日，中国首个“丹麦生活·设计展”在重庆举办开幕庆典，丹麦的21家国际一线品牌集聚重庆。刚于8月19日，在北京向中国国家主席习近平递交了国书的丹麦新任驻华大使戴世阁也专程出席，这也是他首次访问重庆。来华履新前，戴世阁曾任丹麦王国驻日本国大使、驻阿富汗伊斯兰共和国大使和驻以色列国大使。借此机会，本刊记者特地对戴世阁大使进行了专访，畅谈丹麦与重庆的双边发展。

希望更多的丹麦设计来到中国

“设计文化的交流，是两地展开合作交流很好的切入点，我们希望能在中国的中西部地区分享来自北欧的设计理念。”戴世阁表示，丹麦被认为是全世界幸福指数最高的国家，在生活、环保等领域与中国已有相关合作和交流，但与中国中西部地区的合作还需加强。

戴世阁认为，中国是一个历史悠久的国家，对传统的继承和发扬也有自己的思量和探索，这与丹麦设计理念不谋而合。他介绍，丹麦一位世界知名的设计大师汉斯·瓦格纳曾设计出一把闻名全球的椅子“中国椅”。它是瓦格纳在看到中国的圈椅后突发灵感，以此为主题设计的，这也可以证明设计的融合是不分国界的。“我希望更多的丹麦设计来到中国，与中国设计擦出更多火花。”戴世阁说。

“渝新欧”带来更多丹麦家居品牌

在谈到重庆与丹麦的双边发展时，戴世阁称，重庆是中国“一带一路”建设的重要城市，丹麦非常注重与重庆的合作。据他透露，除家居设计展这类文化交流活动外，还希望与重庆开展绿色能源和交通运输方面的合作。

“特别是渝新欧铁路开通后，将大大刺激重庆物流业的发展，丹麦的物流业也不逊色，希望两地企业能有机会展开探讨合作，一起解决交通物流中遇到的问题。”戴世阁表示，随着双方间设计文化的深度交流，越来越多的丹麦家居品牌入驻重庆，在选择运输家具时，各商家也会根据各自的情况，通过航空或铁路进行运输，而“渝新欧”会是一个非常不错的选择。

邀中国企业投资丹麦

对于不久前刚刚举行的中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年阅兵，戴世阁说，他有幸在华履新时受邀观礼阅兵式，感触颇深。丹麦在二战期间，作为受害国，与中国情况相似，受到欧洲法西斯的侵害。“两国在二战时期就已是相隔千里的盟友，作为丹麦驻华大使，我非常感谢中国在反法西斯战争中所做出的贡献。”

据了解，今年正值中丹建交65周年，同时也是丹麦驻重庆总领事馆建馆10周年。戴世阁表示，未来将促进中丹两国关系进一步发展。比如在中丹人员交流方面，会更多地宣传丹麦，让更多的人对这片神奇迷人的土地产生兴趣，来旅游、学习或者投资。大使表示，丹麦是西方国家，投资环境非常友好，丹麦人英语都说的很好，这里是打开北欧的大门，还拥有北欧最重要的港口——哥本哈根，以及世界上顶尖的船运公司。航运贸易机构和基础设施建设也十分发达，这是很多中国公司考虑投资建设时候的重要考虑因素。
