Canada and France have opened consulates in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on Friday. This move demonstrates their commitment to strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with the Danish autonomous territory.
Both countries have expressed opposition to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland. The new consulates aim to support Greenland’s local government and promote international cooperation in the region.
**Why this matters**
Greenland holds strategic importance due to its location and natural resources. The establishment of consulates by Canada and France signals increased international interest and engagement in Arctic affairs, reinforcing Greenland’s autonomy and global partnerships.
