Diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Denmark were established in 1975 and have since evolved into a strong and growing partnership across the political, economic, and cultural spheres. The Kingdom of Denmark opened its Embassy in the United Arab Emirates in 2010, followed by the inauguration of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Copenhagen in 2017, underscoring the shared commitment of both countries to deepening bilateral relations and expanding cooperation.
In recent years, the partnership has broadened to encompass trade, investment, renewable energy, sustainability, innovation, advanced technology, and climate action. Regular high-level exchanges have further strengthened bilateral ties and opened new avenues for collaboration. Today, the United Arab Emirates is a key partner for Denmark in the Middle East, while Denmark is a strategic partner for the United Arab Emirates in Northern Europe, particularly in the areas of renewable energy, maritime transport, technology, and innovation. The two countries also maintain an agreement on the mutual exemption of visa requirements for holders of diplomatic and special passports, while direct air connectivity continues to strengthen people-to-people ties and support the growth of trade and tourism.
