Diplomatic relations 100

The diplomatic relations of Denmark and Estonia were officially formed on 5 February 1921. We marked the 100th anniversary in 2021.
Denmark acknowledged Estonia’s independence on 4 February 1921. The Danish consul told this to the Estonian Foreign Minister on 5 February 1921. The acknowledgement took place in close coordination with Sweden and Norway.
