NUUK — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is set to officially open the new consulate today in Greenland’s capital of Nuuk, where Canadian consular staff have been operating quietly for several weeks.
The launch of a new Canadian diplomatic mission in Greenland is sparking hopes for more collaboration on climate change, Inuit rights and defence in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats.
Trump has demanded U.S. control of Greenland and only recently backed down from threats to use force to acquire the Danish territory.
