Canada opened its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland in a significant show of solidarity following US President Donald Trump’s threats to take control of the territory.

A delegation of senior Canadian officials, including Governor General Mary Simon, and foreign minister Anita Anand, travelled to Nuuk on Friday to formally open Canada’s consulate, accompanied by a Canadian Coast Guard ship.

At a flag raising ceremony, Anand said that the consulate symbolises Canada’s long-term commitment to “stand together with the people of Greenland and Denmark”.

Their visit came amid a similar trip made by French officials, who opened their own consulate in the territory the same day.

The Canadian and French missions are a historic expansion of foreign engagement in Greenland. Until this week, only Iceland and the US offered formal consular services in Nuuk.
