The Danish Foreign Policy Society

A former ambassador Ulrik Federspiel chairs the Board, and the Executive Director Charlotte Flindt Pedersen[2] carries out the daily management of the Society.

The Danish Foreign Policy Society carries out conferences and debates, organizes study visits, issues publications and produces TV-broadcasts.

In the course of 70 years, many prominent speakers, including George H. W. Bush,[3] Martti Ahtisaari,[4] Lech Wałęsa,[5] Dalai Lama,[6] Kofi Annan,[7] Carl Bildt[8] and Navi Pillay[9] held speeches at the Foreign Policy Society.

For instance, in 2016 the study visits were made to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, the Arctic region and Cuba.

The founders were well-known men from the resistance movement, including Ole Lippmann, Svend Truelsen, Erik Husfeldt, Ebbe Munck; politicians such as Per Federspiel and Thorkil Kristensen from the Liberal Party, Ole Bjørn Kraft from the Conservative Party, and the communists Ib Nørlund and Peter P. Rohde.
