Their Majesties The King and Queen will undertake a state visit to Australia from 14 March to 19 March 2026. The Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister for Climate, Energy, and Utilities will accompany The King and Queen along with a large business delegation.

The purpose of the state visit is to further develop the already strong relations between Australia and Denmark, both culturally, economically, and in terms of foreign policy. A strengthened partnership with Australia is particularly important at a time when geopolitical shifts have economic and security implications that link developments in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. Building on the strategic partnership between Australia and Denmark signed in 2023, the state visit aims to enhance cooperation across a broad range of areas, including the green transition and economic security.

Business delegation with a green focus
Green transition will be a key focus of the visit. Fifty-five accompanying Danish companies will participate in the official business promotion initiative “Partnering for a Green, Secure and Sustainable Tomorrow.” The initiative is intended to promote cooperation in the fields of renewable energy and energy-efficient urban development.

Finally, Denmark and Australia share an interest in nature and cultural conservation and elements related to nature and culture will form part of the state visit.

The full programme for the state visit to Australia will be announced at a later date.
