emirates7 - Mette Frederiksen has secured a third term as Denmark's prime minister as a coalition deal was reached around 10 weeks after parliamentary elections.

Social Democrat Frederiksen will lead a new centre-left government consisting of four parties.

Late on Monday, Frederiksen informed King Frederik X of her intention to form a coalition made up of her Social Democrats, the Socialist People's Party, the right-wing liberal Venstre party and the centrist Moderates.

"His Majesty the King has subsequently invited acting Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to form such a government," said a statement from the Danish Royal House.

Frederiksen plans to present the new government's priorities on Tuesday. The new ministers are then scheduled to be presented to the king on Wednesday.
