On July 1, 2025, Denmark began its six-month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. The Danish presidency's theme is "A Strong Europe in a Changing World."
Denmark's priorities include strengthening the EU in security, competitiveness, and green transformation. The focus is on enhancing European defense capabilities and cooperation with Ukraine, given ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The presidency also aims to boost EU competitiveness by reducing bureaucracy and investing in green technologies. Furthermore, Denmark is committed to implementing EU climate goals and investing in renewable energy and sustainable industries. In terms of migration, Denmark seeks stronger control of the EU's external borders and increased cooperation with non-EU countries.
