Lars Lokke Rasmussen remains Denmark's foreign minister in new government

COPENHAGEN - Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has been reappointed to his position, the new government said as it prepared to take office on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Monday her Social Democrats and three more parties had agreed to form a centre-left minority coalition following a general election in March, in what will be her third consecutive term in office.

The prime minister's office said in a statement that Jeppe Bruus had been appointed defence minister while Peter Hummelgaard becomes finance minister.
