i think the penny may be dropping…
Last week, the Danish government published a foreign and security policy strategy stating, among other things, that they want cooperation with Greenland based on equality, respect and mutual involvement. But the Naalakkersuisut has not been involved in the strategy work itself at all, says Múte B. Egede.
The Naalakkersuisut first received Denmark's foreign and security policy strategy the same morning as it was published. - There has been no involvement or briefing of the Naalakkersuisut before it was published. Greenland therefore has no co-ownership of the strategy, nor has Greenland co-authored the strategy, says chairman of the Naalakkersuisut, Múte Bourup Egede to Sermitsiaq. Jens Dresling / Scanpix

“The government, together with Greenland and the Faroe Islands and with the United States as our most important security policy ally, will work for stability and peaceful, sustainable development in the Arctic and North Atlantic for the benefit of all in the region. ”
With these words, the Danish government begins the section "Peaceful and sustainable development in the Arctic and the North Atlantic" in their recently presented foreign and security policy strategy. It further appears that the government wants “an ever closer cooperation and community between the three parts of the kingdom. A collaboration based on equality, respect, trust and mutual involvement ”.
It writes the newspaper Sermitsiaq
August may be a very good month for us - it late summer in Greenland
