Denmark said on Thursday it plans to open an embassy in Baghdad this autumn.
The decision comes as part of Denmark's efforts to help combat ISIS and contribute to the stabilization of the situation in both Iraq and Syria.
"With our commitment, we help to ensure that ISIS doesn't once again gain a foothold in the region and thus the opportunity to threaten Europe and Denmark," Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said in a statement.
Denmark will use its representation to strengthen the dialogue with Iraq in areas such as migration, counter-terrorism and prosecution of crimes committed by ISIS, he added, Reuters reported.
Denmark takes over the leadership of a NATO-led mission training Iraqi security forces from Canada by the end of 2020.
