COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Denmark is willing to invest more in Greenland and grant the Arctic island greater authority over its foreign policy affairs, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday.
“We are willing to invest more in the development of the Greenlandic society,” Frederiksen said in a joint press conference with her Greenlandic and Faroese counterpart on the Faroe Islands, pointing to critical infrastructure and business development.
“This could be ports, and it could be another type of critical infrastructure that both has a defence and military perspective, but which can also be used, for example, in relation to tourism or raw materials extraction,” she said.
