Emanuel Macron offers 'support and friendship'

Shortly before the French president landed, Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Mette Frederiksen were ready at the airport to welcome him on an ‘important visit’. And the president comes with ‘solidarity, support and friendship’.

Both the President of Naalakkersuisut and the Danish Prime Minister were ready to receive the French President at Nuuk Airport, and the visit is important, both Jens Frederik Nielsen and Mette Frederiksen emphasized.

– I am glad that he (Emanuel Macron ed.) has accepted our invitation and is now visiting us. He has distanced himself from the talk that our country can be taken over, and he points out the importance of the country and laws that everyone must respect.

We should be happy that he shows such great support for us, said Jens-Frederik Nielsen shortly before Macron landed.

No country can do everything on its own

And the joy of the visit was also felt by Mette Frederiksen.

– I am really happy that the French President is coming here, because it helps to emphasize European unity.

– There is no country that can handle everything alone in this world, and when we are exposed to unacceptable pressure from the United States, we as a kingdom are very dependent on having a strong alliance with others, said the Danish Prime Minister shortly before the president landed.

And when the president got off the plane, his first comment, according to Ritzau, was:

– I come to Greenland with a message of solidarity, support and friendship.
