Nick Archer is Her Majesty's Ambassador to Denmark

Government and Public Affairs Section
We work with the Danes on a wide range of political issues. With the Danish government hosting the UN COP15 in December 2009, one of our main focuses is climate change. We are also working closely with the Danes on responding to the financial crisis, minimising the threat from terrorism, building a strong and stable EU and on creating peace and security in Afghanistan. We explain UK policies to the Danish government, NGOs and media. We also report Danish views and policies to our government back in the UK.
