Greenland, Denmark, and the United States are expected to sign an agreement on strengthened security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic Area next week.
The three governments are expected to sign the agreement at the UN General Assembly. Following signature, the agreement will enter into force subject to the necessary national parliamentary procedures.
Chairman of Naalakkersuisut Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
”It is encouraging that we are about to make an agreement that will ensure and strengthen the security of Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, the United States, and the Western Alliance. The agreement recognizes Greenland’s interests and our place in the international cooperation. It is to the benefit of us all.”
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen:
”I am glad that we are about to make a great agreement for Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the United States. An agreement which strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic Area and therefore is great for NATO and Europe as well. And an agreement which at the same time recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.”
