About us

11.09.2025 Welcome from Denmark's new ambassador to Sweden

It is with great honor and pleasure that I today presented my credentials from His Majesty King Frederik X to His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf. After a festive and beautiful ceremony, I am now ready to throw myself into the task of serving as Denmark's ambassador to Sweden.

Coming to Sweden is almost like coming home. Denmark and Sweden are closer than ever before, and based on shared Nordic values, we face both domestic and international challenges in the same manner. We inspire each other and make each other stronger. Trade between Denmark and Sweden is extensive across sectors, and our countries are among each other's largest trading partners.

Our shared approach to global challenges makes our countries secure and strategic allies in uncertain times. Sweden's membership of NATO has only strengthened our cooperation on defense and security policy.

From my time as ambassador in Strasbourg, Madrid, and Brussels, I have personally experienced the unique cooperation that Denmark and Sweden have in international and regional forums. Our historically close relationship was emphasized and celebrated with the Danish royal couple's very first state visit, which was made to Sweden in 2024. And this year, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Øresund Bridge and the integration of our shared region, the Øresund Region. I look forward to working and collaborating with the embassy's many partners and friends!

With best regards

Jens Kisling
