Canada, France open Greenland consulates in show of Denmark support

Canada and France opened consulates in Nuuk, capital of Greenland on Friday, in a show of support for the local government. Canada’s foreign minister Anita Anand was travelling to Nuuk to inaugurate the consulate which would help boost cooperation on issues such as the climate crisis and Inuit rights.

France’s foreign ministry said Jean-Noël Poirier would take up duties as the country’s consul general, making it the first EU country to establish a consulate general in Greenland.
