Denmark’s Social Democratic leader Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday she had agreed to form a bipartisan coalition with her continuing as prime minister, the first alliance in decades to bridge the country’s traditional left-right political divide.

Making up the new government with Ms. Frederiksen, who in the previous term headed a one-party government, are two center-right parties: the Liberal Party, the other traditional political heavyweight in Danish politics, and the newly formed Moderates. Tuesday’s pact ended weeks of government negotiations.
