L&T's golden links with Denmark were burnished again last week when Crown Prince Frederik of the Kingdom of Denmark visited the Company's manufacturing complex at Powai, Mumbai. L&T's CEO and Managing Director, Mr. A.M. Naik escorted His Royal Highness around the Heavy Engineering Workshop where high-tech equipment and systems for vital industries are manufactured. The Crown Prince, accompanied by Denmark's ambassador to India, Mr. Michael Sternberg, was joined by a Danish business delegation, headed by Mr. Johan Schroder, Chairman of the Confederation of Danish Industries.

Later, Prince Frederik called on Mr. Henning Holck-Larsen, co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Company at his residence in south Mumbai. It was a meeting of true historical significance between the young prince and the 95-year old Dane who has made an indelible imprint in his adopted homeland - India. It may be recalled that in October last year, Mr. Holck-Larsen was felicitated by the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen for his contribution to promoting international goodwill and understanding.
