Where previously almost the entire emphasis lay on defending Danish territory, international tasks are now playing a significant role in deter- mining the focus of Danish defence. This has given Denmark an opportunity to pursue a proactive foreign policy over the twenty years that have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. At the same time, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon in Washington D.C. on 11 September 2001 have led to far greater focus on efforts to combat terrorism, extremism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

  • CHRONICLE 11.Qxp
    [Commentary] Multi-NNational Teamwork More than 15,500 Kosovo Forces soldiers are coming from 24 NATO and 10 Non-NATO-Nations. The smallest national contribution counts four soldiers, and the biggest counts 2,475 soldiers. Whether at a task force or headquarters, multi-nationality is everywhere. The boots on the ground and the HQ staff all work hard together for a safe and secure environment and for freedom of movement in Kosovo. It is one multi-national team conducting one mission for the people in Kosovo. Since my arrival at the beginning of August this year, I have been visiting the MNTF HQs and the troops on the ground. It is a pleasure seeing all efforts being done to support each other while running operations Kosovo-wide. Shuffling our troops all over Kosovo, being clear, determined and unpredictable, being visible but not interfering with normal people's lives, maintaining close contact to the people of Kosovo through our liaison and monitoring teams to "feel the pulse of Kosovo" - all of this requires highly-motivated and flexible soldiers like you, working together in one single team. I am proud working with you in such an exceptional multi-national team tied together by a spirit of universal comradeship! Keep on going this way.
