Good to connect with Danish FM @larsloekke. Our countries are close friends who naturally find each other in the EU and NATO.
We spoke about European solidarity, Arctic security and competitiveness, among other things.
Great to strengthen a partnership that already runs deep.

PM Mette Frederiksen:

Lunch with @MinPres Mark Rutte closes the Belgian presidency of the EU, @BEinNL and @BEHagueIntOrg, in the Netherlands. Ambassador van Calster very befittingly sends the PM on his way to Brussels and the new job as SG of @NATO with some tasty Belgian chocolates.
