Lars Løkke continues as Denmark's foreign minister

Lars Løkke Rasmussen will remain Denmark's foreign minister, as confirmed by the ministerial list released by the Prime Minister's Office. Rasmussen, the political leader of the Moderaterne party, has held the foreign minister position since 2022 within the SVM government. The Moderaterne party secures a total of four ministerial posts in the new government. Christina Egelund will continue as minister for research and higher education, with the added responsibility of digitalization. Jakob Engel-Schmidt is moving from the Ministry of Culture to become minister for taxation and growth. Monika Rubin, another member of Moderaterne, will take on the role of minister for social affairs and minister for Nordic cooperation. While not a minister previously, she most recently served as the party's political spokesperson. This expansion of Moderaterne's influence means that three current ministers from the party, Caroline Stage, Lars Aagaard, and Henrik Frandsen, will not be continuing in their government roles. The Prime Minister's Office also detailed the composition of various government committees. Christina Egelund will join the central coordination committee, replacing Jakob Engel-Schmidt. This committee includes three members from the Social Democrats and two from the other governing parties.
