Denmark’s FM hails US–Iran ceasefire as “better than yesterday” for world

Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, praised the recent ceasefire between the United States and Iran, saying it could help prevent a global economic crisis.

In a post on his X account, Rasmussen noted that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would further support regional stability and international trade, Caliber.Az reports.

Er verden et bedre sted i dag end i går? Uomtvisteligt. End for 40 dage siden? Mere end tvivlsomt ..
Men vi kan ikke springe tilbage i tid, så glæder mig over nattens våbenhvile, der potentielt kan genetablere fri sejlads i Hormuz og afværge voldsomt globalt økonomisk tilbageslag

“We cannot go back to the past, so I welcome yesterday’s ceasefire, which could potentially restore free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and prevent a serious global economic downturn.”

He added that, in his view, the ceasefire has made the world “better than it was yesterday,” highlighting the potential positive impact on both global security and the economy.
