International cooperation

NATO and the UN are cornerstones of Danish defense and security policy, but Denmark also participates in other international cooperation in the defence area. Denmark thus has close cooperation with a number of other states regarding, among other things, participation in international operations.

NATO - North Atlantic Treaty Organization

The NATO alliance is a cornerstone of Danish defense and security policy and Denmark contributes to NATO's preparedness and standing forces.

UN - United Nations

Denmark is a committed participant in the UN's work, and since the first UN military mission in 1948, the Danish Armed Forces have been a very active contributor to UN operations.

NORDEFCO - Nordic defense cooperation

The Nordic countries have a long tradition of working closely together. This also applies in the area of defence.

Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF)

Denmark participates in the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), which is a coalition of ten northern European countries that primarily cooperate for increased security in the Baltic Sea region, the North Atlantic and the area north of the Arctic Circle.

EU - European cooperation on security and defence

Denmark joined the European cooperation on security and defence on 1 July 2022 with the abolition of the Danish EU defence opt-out. This means that Denmark can choose to contribute to the EU's military missions and operations.
