The India-Denmark diplomatic relationship, dating back to 1949, has deepened over the years through shared democratic values and a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. High-level visits in recent years – including PM Modi’s official trip to Denmark in May 2022 and PM Frederiksen’s state visit to India in October 2021 – have reinforced ties and furthered the partnership in sectors like pharmaceuticals, energy, machinery, and technology.
According to Denmark Statistics, bilateral trade between the two countries stood at USD 5.31 billion in 2023, with Indian exports totaling USD 2.74 billion and imports from Denmark at USD 2.59 billion. Key Indian exports include textiles, vehicles, leather, and metal goods, while major Danish exports to India consist of pharmaceuticals, power and industrial machinery, and chemicals.
As both nations continue to build on this foundation, the Green Strategic Partnership remains central to their shared vision for a more sustainable and resilient global future.
