The King and Queen will pay state visits in the near future to the three Baltic countries: Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.

Denmark has strong historical ties to all three countries and established diplomatic relations for the first time in 1921. Denmark never recognised the Soviet annexation of the Baltic countries and, in August 1991, was among the first to reestablish diplomatic relations after their secession from the Soviet Union.

The relationship between Denmark and the three countries is characterised by joint interests, mutual respect and a shared vision of a free, secure and prosperous Europe. The upcoming state visits will reaffirm the longstanding and close relation between Denmark and Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, which is not only based on geographical proximity, but also on a set of strong shared values. The visits will help to underscore the joint European commitment and continuing support to Ukraine. 

Latvia's President, Edgars Rinkēvičs, has invited The King and Queen for a state visit to Latvia the days of 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 defence of Latvia and NATO as a framework nation for the NATO headquarters Multinational Division North and with a combat battalion, which is deployed on a rotating basis to Camp Valdemar in Latvia every six months.

The visit by The King and Queen will provide an occasion to recognise the Danish soldiers for their service. At the same time, the state visit will affirm the strong historical ties and the close relations between Denmark and Latvia. This includes a focus on the close cultural cooperation.
