Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – French Foreign Minister Jean-Henri Barrow announced on the 23rd local time that, at the invitation of the Danish and Greenlandic authorities, he will visit Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, "in the coming weeks," and will attend the opening ceremony of the French consulate in Nuuk, the Greenlandic capital.
Regarding recent claims that the United States and NATO have reached a so-called "framework agreement" on the Greenland issue, Barrow stated that France is not aware of the specific details of the agreement, but emphasized that France has always firmly supported Denmark's sovereignty. Barrow has previously stated on multiple occasions that Greenland is European territory, and Europeans have the ability to protect their territory from any threat.
Nuuk, located on the west coast of Greenland, is the island's capital and largest city, as well as its administrative and economic center. According to French media reports, the decision to establish a French consulate there was made by French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Greenland last summer, and the consulate is scheduled to open on February 6th.
