The Danish government has decided to close the Danish embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, after the "withdrawal of the Danish force protection personnel and the national support element from NATO Mission Iraq (NMI)," the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Danish embassy in Baghdad formally opened in 2020 to support the Danish command over and contribution to NMI, the ministry explained.

"With the majority of the Danish military contribution withdrawn, a key task for the Danish embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, has been completed. Therefore, the Danish government has decided to close the embassy as of 31 May 2024," the statement said.
