Founding of diplomatic outposts in Nuuk comes after US made efforts to secure control of Arctic island
Canada and France are to open diplomatic consulates in the capital of Greenland on Friday, showing support for their Nato ally Denmark and the Arctic island after US efforts to secure control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Canada’s foreign minister, Anita Anand, was travelling to Nuuk to inaugurate the consulate, which officials say also could help boost cooperation on issues such as the climate crisis and Inuit rights. She was joined by Canada’s Indigenous governor general, Mary Simon.
France’s foreign ministry said Jean-Noël Poirier would take up duties as the country’s consul general, making it the first EU country to establish a consulate general in Greenland.

Good! Now… France should ask for the statue of Liberty back. It’s obviously not wanted. And Canada should close the international peace gardens. These are antithetical to the American government.
