Denmark's Social Democrats, led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, have successfully negotiated the formation of a new government. The party reached a coalition agreement with the Socialist People's Party, the centrist Moderaterna, and the Radical Left party.

The announcement came after a meeting with King Frederik X in Odense on Monday evening. The process of forming a government has been challenging since the general election held in late March, which resulted in the dissolution of the previous coalition government.

Frederiksen was met by journalists as she left her meeting with the King but chose not to discuss the specifics of the political negotiations. She indicated that such details could be shared the following day, deferring further comment until Tuesday morning.
