Korean Embassy in Denmark - Address & Contact
Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Denmark
The Korean Embassy in Copenhagen has represented Korea in Denmark since 1959, one of the earliest diplomatic postings in Northern Europe. Denmark, a prosperous Nordic country with a strong tradition in design, pharmaceuticals, shipping, and green energy, is a natural partner for Korea's technology and export-driven economy. The embassy serves both the bilateral relationship and a Korean community that has grown significantly through adoption — thousands of Koreans were adopted by Danish families from the 1970s onward.

South Korea – Denmark Diplomatic Relations
Korea and Denmark established diplomatic relations in 1959 and have built a multifaceted partnership over more than six decades. Denmark participated in the Korean War under the UN flag, providing medical support through the Danish hospital ship Jutlandia — a contribution remembered with gratitude in Korea. Modern bilateral ties are anchored in trade, green technology, and life sciences: Danish companies such as Novo Nordisk and Maersk are household names in Korea, and Korean firms have partnered with Danish counterparts in renewable energy and shipping. A unique feature of the relationship is Denmark's large Korean adoptee community of nearly 8,000 people.
South Korea – Denmark Trade & Economy
Two-way trade between Korea and Denmark totaled approximately $1.57 billion in 2023. Korean exports of $510 million include automobiles, electronics, and machinery, while Danish exports of $1.06 billion are led by pharmaceuticals, medical devices, industrial equipment, and food products. The Denmark-Korea trade relationship punches above its weight given Denmark's population size, largely due to Danish pharmaceutical and biotech strength that complements Korea's appetite for advanced health-sector imports.
