The US Embassy in Denmark confirms that Ambassador Ken Howery and Special Envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry will travel to Greenland from May 18-21 to participate in the Future Greenland conference and to open the new consulate in Nuuk.
According to a press release from the embassy, the two will meet with a wide range of Greenlanders to listen and learn with the aim of increasing economic opportunities, strengthening personal relationships, and increasing understanding between the United States and Greenland.
Will offer more opportunities
"I look forward to visiting Greenland again and especially to opening our new consulate. Since 2020, when we reopened our consulate in Nuuk, we have expanded our relationships with the Greenlandic government, municipalities, and citizens across business, academia, and a range of sectors," Ambassador Howery said, continuing:
"We look forward to offering more opportunities for Americans and Greenlanders, and to using this new building as a place to build connections and collaboration between the United States and Greenland. This engagement will complement our long-standing and productive Arctic defense partnership with the Kingdom of Greenland."
