Ambassadors of Denmark are people appointed to serve as the country's diplomatic representatives to foreign nations, international organizations, and as ambassadors-at-large. The head of mission to an international organization is usually a permanent representative. For some nations, a consul-general is appointed.
Ambassadors are the highest-ranking diplomats of the Kingdom of Denmark and are usually based at the embassy in the host country. They are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and answer directly to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The positions have a dual role, being representatives of the Danish Monarchy and the Danish Government. [1] [2] [3]
As of October 2022, Denmark has a total of 100 diplomatic missions abroad, of which 67 are embassies. [4] Appointments change regularly for various reasons, such as reassignment or retirement, although the majority of senior positions have an initial duration of 4 years, with the possibility of reduction and extension by 1 year.
