On 31 January, HM The King begins an official business promotional campaign visit in Poland. His Majesty will be accompanied by Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard and Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Jacob Jensen.

The visit, which has been under preparation for quite a long time, takes place partly in Poland’s capital, Warsaw, where 38 Danish companies will participate in a business promotional campaign, as well as in the port city Szczecin, where The King will visit NATO’s regional headquarters and representatives of the Danish and Polish business community in the city, among other things.

During the visit, The King will meet with the President of Poland, HE Andrzej Duda, in the Presidential Palace and with the leaders of the Senate and the Polish lower chamber, Sejm. In addition, His Majesty will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

In Denmark, there is a tradition that a new sovereign begins travel activity together with his or her spouse with visits to the neighbouring countries as the first made. Thus, the plan is that The King and HM The Queen will visit Sweden and Norway as the first such trips. The dates for these visits will follow as soon as possible.
