Denmark, which has been monitoring a Chinese vessel anchored off its coast after two Baltic Sea cables were cut, said on Monday it was in talks with China over the ship.
In a statement, Denmark’s foreign ministry said it was “in ongoing dialogue with the countries most involved in handling this case, including China”.
It added that it could not provide any details on the “diplomatic dialogue”.
Sections of two telecoms cables were cut on November 17 and 18 in Swedish territorial waters of the Baltic Sea.
Swedish and Finnish police have opened investigations and European officials have said they suspect “sabotage” linked to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has rejected the comments as “absurd” and “laughable”.
The Yi Peng 3 sailed over the cables around the time they were severed, according to ship tracking sites, though there is nothing to indicate that it was involved in the incidents.
