Bhutan–Denmark relations refers to the current and historical relations between Bhutan and Denmark. Denmark has a liaison office in Thimphu.[1] Diplomatic relations were established in 1985.[2]

Cooperation

Danish development cooperation with Bhutan was initiated in 1978, and in 1989 Bhutan was chosen as a Danish programme country. Assistance has focused on four areas of cooperation: health, education, environment, urban development and good governance. The first country strategy was elaborated in 1997 covering the planning period 1998 – 2002. For a number of years Denmark has been one of the largest donors of development assistance to Bhutan. Bhutan's Prime Minister Jigme Thinley was granted an audience with Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 2010.[3]

Denmark has been supporting the education sector in Bhutan since the early 1990s.[4] Denmark also support Bhutan with poverty reduction and freedom of press.[5] 1,1 million DKK will be invested in the health sector, environment sector and urban development in 2012.[6]

Bhutan and Denmark signed an agreement on good governance and a total of 50 million DKK was given by Denmark.[7]

Denmark's strategy for Bhutan, in the period 2008 to 2013 is expected to be the last programme to help sustainability.[8][9]
