Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who arrived in China Tuesday for a five-day working visit, expressed his "overwhelming" impression about the country Friday.

China was a society on the move, a dynamic society with incredibly high economic growth, and at the same time, a society conscious of its cultural heritage and human values, said Rasmussen.

He illustrated the impression by mentioning three stops: first,Shanghai was a modern and booming city with many business opportunities and definitely a center of economic growth; second, a hutong (lane) in Beijing that represented the people's hospitality and the nation's history; and third, Tsinghua University with well-educated young people expecting a bright future.

"I will go back to Denmark with a strong wish to strengthen relations between China and Denmark and between China and the European Union," he said.

Rasmussen also outlined his talks with the Chinese leaders, saying the two sides agreed to enhance cooperation in politics, trade, scientific cooperation and cultural relations.

China had made many achievements in international cooperation, democratic values and human rights, he said, expressing his appreciation for the proposal that China's constitution be amendedto include references to human rights.
