The President of France and Mette Frederiksen come to Greenland

The Danish Prime Minister and the President of the Greenland Parliament will also participate.

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Greenland on June 15.

The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen (S), and Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D), who is the chairman of Demokraatit, will also participate.

The Government of Greenland writes this in a press release, as does the Prime Minister’s Office in Denmark.

The three heads of government will “focus, among other things, on security in the North Atlantic and the Arctic”. But they will also discuss economic development, climate change and energy, it says.

– It has been uplifting to experience the great international support for Greenland and the Kingdom in the difficult foreign policy situation in recent months.

– President Macron’s upcoming visit to Greenland is yet another concrete testament to European unity, says Mette Frederiksen in the press release.

Invitation fra Vivian Motzfeldt

Earlier this week, Sermitsiaq learned that a visit from Macron was coming.

In May, Vivian Motzfeldt (Siumut), who is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greenland, visited France and in this connection delivered an invitation to visit Greenland.

Since President Trump returned to the White House, he has said several times that he wants Greenland for both national and international security.

It has been rejected by both the Danish and Greenlandic sides.

France has continuously shown support by, among other things, expressing that the country was ready to send soldiers to Greenland if Denmark requested it to resist pressure from the United States.
