Both Norway and Sweden sends defense personnel to Greenland.
This was announced by Sweden's Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, and Norway's Defense Minister, Tore Sandvik, respectively.
The same applies to Germany and France, writes the AFP news agency.
Several officers from the Swedish army will arrive in Greenland on Wednesday.
This is what the Swedish Prime Minister writes in a post on X.
According to the Prime Minister, Sweden has sent the officers at the request of Denmark.
The Swedish group is part of a larger team from several allied countries, it says.
Together, the foreign forces are part of the Danish exercise Operation Arctic Endurance, writes Kristersson.
In a post on Facebook, the Arctic Command writes that the Norwegian Armed Forces will continue the increased presence in the Arctic in 2026 together with allies.
- Already today, two C-130J transport aircraft from the Norwegian Armed Forces are landing in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq, respectively, with colleagues from the Norwegian Armed Forces and from allied countries for the Arctic Command, which will support the preparation of the exercise activity, it reads.
The purpose of the presence, according to the notice, is to strengthen "the ability to operate in Arctic conditions" and thus to strengthen Nato.
Norway has also decided to send two people from the Norwegian defense to Greenland.
This is stated by the Norwegian Minister of Defence, Tore Sandvik, to the Norwegian media VG.
According to the minister, the purpose of the Norwegian envoys is to "chart the further cooperation between the allies".
According to CNN, Germany's Ministry of Defense states that they are sending a "reconnaissance team" consisting of 13 military personnel to Greenland.
They must take part in an "investigation mission" from 15 to 17 January, according to a statement from the German ministry, writes the media.
