Diplomatic relations between Denmark and Colombia were established on May 18, 1935. Bilateral matters are handled at our Embassy in Stockholm and through the Embassy of Denmark in Brasilia.

The bilateral relations are close and the last meeting at a high level was between former President Uribe and the Danish Prime Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen held on May 18, 2010 during the VI Summit EU-LAC. Recently, (in June, 2011) the European Director visited Copenhagen to discuss matters of interest and promote new topics of the bilateral agenda.  

The Government of Denmark has recognized the efforts and advances of Colombia in economic and social matters. Denmark is one of the countries registering Official Development Assistance to Colombia. There is great interest in increasing the presence of Denmark in Colombia as well of Colombia in Denmark at a commercial, academic and cultural level, among others. It is expected that Danish companies will invest once again in Colombia.

Among the main products exported from Colombia to Denmark are coal and coffee. We import machinery and equipment and basic chemicals.

The Economic, Industrial and Technological Convention is among the agreements signed with Denmark worth noting.
