Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen has said that "concrete results" are expected at the Mexico climate change conference at the end of this year.

He noted that no matter whether the conference will reach an agreement，it surely will have a more concrete result in the areas that the Copenhagen conference has made progress.

However, "it's too early to give a conclusion on the conference right now," Rasmussen told Xinhua on the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) annual conference held this weekend in Boao in south China's island province of Hainan.

The 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference is scheduled to be held in Cancun, Mexico, from Nov. 29 to Dec. 10. It is the first round of formal UN climate talks since the Copenhagen conference last December.

A three-day preparatory session was held this weekend in Bonn, Germany, to determine how to proceed with the future talks in the run-up to the Mexico conference.

Rasmussen said, "The Bonn conference of this week will define a road map or a schedule toward the Mexico conference," and efforts of cooperation and communications should be continued for reaching new progress.

He highlighted China's constructive role in the Copenhagen conference.

"As a host, I can testify the fact that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao played a constructive role to make the Copenhagen deal possible," he said.

"Without Wen's personal involvement, it's hard to achieve the final deal in the conference," he said.

Rasmussen acknowledged that expectation from the international community on the conference was very high and it was "difficult" to meet the demand.

But he said the Copenhagen conference made a very important step towards reaching a legally binding framework on climate change.

According to the prime minister, China's contribution was also seen as an effort to move toward a green growth path by defining domestic emission target.

"As China is still a country of the emerging market, it's of crucial importance for China to set up the green target," he said.

Rasmussen, on a working visit to China, said the BFA conference's theme of "green recovery" will surely usher new business opportunities between China and Denmark.

"In developing the clean technology, Denmark is the first mover and China is the fastest mover," he said. "Their cooperation will bring mutual benefits to each other in the future."

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the China-Denmark diplomatic ties. Rasmussen said Denmark has an "excellent" relationship with China during the past decades, with about 400 Danish companies now setting up branches in China.

As a gesture of friendship and trust, Denmark is sending its internationally-renowned Little Mermaid statue to Shanghai.

Rasmussen said the statue will be the center of attraction at the Pavilion of Denmark during the upcoming Shanghai World Expo.

"It's our national treasure, and also a symbol for the 60-year China-Denmark relationship," he said.
