Bilateral relations

On 4 June 2026, Luxembourg and Denmark will celebrate 120 years of diplomatic relations. Since their establishment on 4 June 1906, the bilateral relations between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of Denmark have traditionally been excellent; marked by shared values, close cooperation within European institutions, and frequent alignment on major European and international issues.

Luxembourg maintains an embassy in Copenhagen, as well as an honorary consulate in Aarhus, with jurisdiction over the Jutland peninsula. Denmark, for its part, is accredited in Luxembourg through its embassy in Brussels. Denmark is also represented in Luxembourg by a vice‑honorary consul.

Historically, ties between the two monarchies have also contributed to fostering goodwill between both countries. A notable example was the State Visit in 2003 by Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke Henri and the Grand Duchess Maria Teresa to Denmark, where they were received by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik. The bilateral relationship is equally reflected at the societal level. Over 1200 Danish nationals reside in Luxembourg, while some 300 Luxembourg citizens call Denmark home.

Commerce

Commercial exchanges between Luxembourg and Denmark remain stable and mutually beneficial. Among the Nordic countries, Denmark stands as Luxembourg’s second most important economic partner (after Sweden) for both the export and import of goods ranging from electrical machinery and equipment to iron and steel products.

Our two countries maintain strong bilateral economic and financial relations, characterized by dynamic investment flows, the presence of Danish subsidiaries in Luxembourg, and Luxembourg’s role as an important domicile for Danish investment funds. Business exchanges, trade promotion initiatives, and technological partnerships, particularly in the space industry, also contribute to a diversified and resilient bilateral relationship, and are expected to continue strengthening it in the years ahead.

Cooperation in the Field of Energy

Energy cooperation has equally become a central pillar of Luxembourg-Denmark relations. Both countries share a strong commitment to the European Union’s climate objectives and to the expansion of renewable energy capacities.

In 2021, Luxembourg and Denmark decided to strengthen their partnership in offshore wind energy through a formal agreement, focusing on the further development of renewable energy sources. The agreement was recently extended until 2030. At the same time, Luxembourg and Denmark cooperate, together with other North Sea partners, in the context of the North Sea Energy cooperation group.
