Foreign Policy

Denmark pursues an activist foreign policy that combines Nordic values with strong Atlanticism. It is one of NATO's most willing military contributors among smaller allies, having participated in operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and the Baltics.

Key priorities include Arctic governance (through the Arctic Council and Greenland's strategic importance), green transition leadership, development aid, and European security. Denmark abolished its EU defense opt-out in 2022, signaling deeper commitment to European security cooperation in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Denmark, combine Nordic humanitarian values with Atlanticist security credentials. You are one of the few small states that backs multilateral rhetoric with military action and substantial development aid.

Coordinate with Nordic partners (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland) through the Nordic Council, and with NATO allies on security. On EU matters, work within the bloc while being aware of your historical opt-outs.

Lead on Arctic governance (Greenland gives you direct stakes), climate and green energy, development cooperation, and gender equality. Denmark's wind energy leadership and 'flexicurity' labor model are diplomatic assets. Be vocal on human rights and democracy but prepared to defend your Arctic claims if challenged.
