In World War II, Hungary sent 12.000 soldiers to Denmark, through Germany.[4][5] After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, 1,400 Hungarians fled to Denmark.[6] 137 million DKK were collected to help the Hungarians.[7] In 1948, a payments agreement was signed between both countries.[8] On 20 October 1969, Denmark and Hungary signed an agreement on economic, industrial, and technical cooperation.[9] An agreement on compensation for Danish interests in Hungary was signed on 18 June 1965.[10]

Main article: Paul Bang-Jensen

Povl Bang-Jensen was a Danish diplomat, later a civil service in UN. In 1956 he questioned 80 Hungarian refugees in New York City who had fled Hungary. When UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld demanded the names of the refugees, Jensen refused to do so in fear that it would come in communist security services. Ultimately, Jensen burned the list of names. Jensen is very well known in Hungary.[14][15][16]

In 1987, Margrethe II of Denmark visited Hungary.[7] Former Prime Minister of Hungary, Ferenc Gyurcsány visited Denmark on 12 June 2007.[7] On 19 March 2010, Crown Prince Frederik and Per Stig Møller visited Budapest Spring Festival.[7]
