Press conference with Macron, Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen

As the last official point, the three heads of state will now hold a press conference in the colonial harbor in Nuuk.

The Chairman of Naalakkersuisut, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, begins by welcoming the French President and expressing his gratitude for the support from France to Greenland.

– From the Greenlandic people and the Greenlandic government, thank you. I look forward to a future where we can work more closely together, said Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

The floor goes to Emanuel Macron, who thanks him for being here.

– Greenland can neither be bought nor taken, he says. He emphasizes that France stands side by side with Greenland.

– France has decided to open a consulate general here in Nuuk, to be closer to you, says the president.

– You are not alone. We will stand with you, believe me, says Emanuel Macron.

The EU, like France, stands side by side with Greenland, the president has said several times.

– Long live Greenland, long live Denmark, long live our friendship, long live Europe.

This is how Emanuel Macron ends the press conference. He thanks again for the opportunity to visit the ‘beautiful’ Greenland.

Mette Frederiksen is the last of the three leaders to speak.

– Thank you for being here side by side with us, she says to Emanuel Macron.

She uses the opportunity to say that the meeting between the three today was also about talking about security.
