The level of Greek-Danish relations is very good and is largely determined by the two countries' participation in the EU and NATO.The two countries cooperate regularly, both bilaterally and in the context of international organizations.
Bilateral Relations
Denmark
There is mutual representation at the level of Embassies, which operate in Athens and Copenhagen. Greece also operates an Honorary Consulate in Torshavn (Faroe Islands).
Bilateral Relations
The Universities of Copenhagen and Arhus each host a Chair of Classical Studies, while the University of Copenhagen also hosts a Chair of Modern Greek Studies. Cultural relations between Greece and Denmark are governed by the bilateral Cultural Agreement signed in 1976, which regulates cooperation between the two countries in the fields of Science, Education and Culture. The National Museum of Denmark (Copenhagen) exhibits, among others, sculptural decorations (two heads and a fragment) from a Parthenon metope and two Mycenaean swords from the Royal Tomb of the Mycenaean cemetery at Dendra in Argolida. Regarding the Greek Community, Greeks residing in Denmark number about 3,000 people. Most of them are settled in the greater Copenhagen area, where the Greek Community of Denmark has its headquarters. Some Greeks also hold the Danish nationality and are therefore not registered by the Danish Statistical Office among Danish foreigners.
