History

In 1933, a Danish

embassy.[1]

Also in 1933, with the arrival of Danish engineers in Iran, technical cooperation commenced. In the same year a contract was signed with the Danish engineering firm of Kampsax A/S to construct the Trans-Iranian Railway line. Five years later, on 25 August 1938, with the opening of the North- South railway line the Iranian desire of connecting the North to the South by rail came true.[2]

Following a state visit in 1958, Iran established an embassy in Copenhagen.[3][4] More specifically, the mission in Copenhagen was launched on 19 February 1959 and Ali Asghar Nase was appointed Iranian ambassador.[5]

The 2006 Muhammad cartoons controversy saw the Danish embassy to Iran attacked by protesters and the Iranian Ambassador to Denmark called to Tehran; thus straining political and economic interaction between the two countries.[6][7]

On 30 October 2018, the

ASMLA, who lives there.[8] Denmark responded by recalling their ambassador in Tehran.[9][10]
