Denmark–South Africa relations refers to the bilateral relations between Denmark and South Africa. Denmark has an embassy in Pretoria[1] and South Africa has an embassy in Copenhagen.[2]
Denmark was a very strong supporter of the anti-apartheid movement.[citation needed] Queen Margrethe II paid a visit to South Africa in 1996. President Nelson Mandela visited Denmark in 1999. Denmark has always had a very active development co-operation programme with South Africa dating from the 1960s, which was changed to an assistance programme from 1995. Denmark assisted with 4 billion DKK. Denmark remains a strong supporter of NEPAD.[3]
Trade between South Africa and Denmark has increased since 1994. Denmark has been providing aid to South Africa since that time.[4]
Cultural relations between South Africa and Denmark are established in, among other forums, the Danish Society in South Africa and the Nordic-South African Business Association.
