On Thursday, April 24, Crown Princess Mary gave a speech at the opening of the Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2014.
I would also like to extend a warm welcome to Copenhagen. 
2014 is a special year for Copenhagen, as it has been awarded the prestigious European Green Capital Award by the European Commission.  Why? Because the city excels in combining sustainable solutions with growth and quality of life.  And because we are happy to share our knowledge and experiences with the rest of the world.  ‘Sharing Copenhagen’ is all about sharing good solutions.
