The Chairman of the Greenland Government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D), has traveled to Berlin, where he will participate in the World Economic Summit together with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Here they will discuss the current foreign policy situation and the need for a strengthened Europe. This is stated in a press release from the Prime Minister's Office.
The Welt Economic Summit focuses on geopolitics and economics, and the German business community and the country's government also participate.
According to the Prime Minister's Office, Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Mette Frederiksen will also participate in events with "selected opinion leaders and foreign policy actors."
The ministry further states that after the visit to Berlin, the Prime Minister and the Chairman of Naalakkersuisut will travel on to Paris to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The trip takes place in the aftermath of the massive pressure that US President Donald Trump has placed on Greenland as well as the rest of the Kingdom in recent weeks, where he has intensified his rhetoric that the US should own Greenland. The conflict has been temporarily de-escalated, as a framework has been agreed for further negotiations on the security situation in the Arctic.
