Greenland and Faroe Islands Included in Danish Arctic Strategy Work

Denmark’s current Arctic strategy expires by the end of this year, and the work on a new one is well underway. Now, Greenland and the Faroe Islands are included in the process, Sermitsiaq writes.

– All parties of the Realm of the Danish Crown should be able to find themselves in the new strategy, says Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod (S), who visited Greenland last weekend.

He argues that increased international focus on the Arctic, and Greenland in particular, makes it vital for Denmark to work closely with the Greenlanders on the new strategy.

The draft new strategy is to be presented to the governments of Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark this autumn, and it is expected to be launched early 2021.
