According to a recent statement from the Danish Palace, this first state visit “will provide the new King and Queen with the opportunity to meet the kings of Sweden and Norway, and will thus mark the close relationship between the Nordic monarchies.”
King Frederik X and Queen Mary's visit to Sweden is scheduled for May 6-7, followed by Norway from May 14-15.
The two visits will form part of a “major tour around the north”, which will include visits to Greenland and the Faroe Islands in June and July.
The majority of the tour will take place on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog.
Sweden recently welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron for a state visit from January 30-31. King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway visited Denmark last year, when Queen Margrethe II was still head of the royal family before abdicating last month.
King Frederik recently visited Poland on his first foreign trip since ascending the throne. The visit to Poland was intended to promote trade rather than a state visit and was planned before Queen Margrethe II passed the throne to him.
