GREENLAND - CRUCIAL NEGOTIATIONS TODAY
Today, the Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers are to meet with the US vice president and secretary of state in Washington. The meeting is taking place at the Danish-Greenlandic request. Here, the Danish-Greenlandic side will be very open to even closer cooperation with the Americans on security and on the exploitation of minerals. But they will NOT accept any form of American takeover of Greenland. Out of the question!
In this
position, Denmark-Greenland has the full support of the EU, Canada, the
Nordic countries, and indeed most of the world.
At the same
time, work is being done to get a multinational military force to Greenland -
to better defend the Arctic. And several countries will establish consulates in
Nuuk. Canada did so last week. France will open its next month. And there will
probably be more.
