The Danish Royal Couple Visits Latvia

Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs has invited the Danish Royal Couple, H.M. King Frederik X and H.M. Queen Mary, on a state visit to Latvia on 28–29 October 2025.

The cooperation between Denmark and Latvia is close in international forums such as NATO, the EU and the UN. Denmark contributes to the defense of Latvia and NATO as a framework nation for the NATO headquarters Multinational Division North, as well as with a combat battalion that is deployed to Camp Valdemar in Latvia on a rotational basis every six months.

The relationship between Denmark and Latvia is characterized by common interests, mutual respect and a shared vision for a free, secure and prosperous Europe. The state visit will confirm the long and close relationship between Denmark and Latvia, which is based not only on geographical proximity, but also on a strong community of values.

The visit of the Royal Couple will provide an opportunity to recognize the Danish soldiers for their service. At the same time, the state visit will confirm the strong historical ties and close relations between Denmark and Latvia. This also include attention to the close cultural cooperation. Further, the visit will also contribute to emphasize the common European commitment and continued support for Ukraine.

Denmark has strong historical ties with Latvia and first established diplomatic relations in 1921. Denmark never recognized the Soviet annexation of the Baltic countries and was among the first to re-establish diplomatic relations in August 1991 after the secession from the Soviet Union.
