## Transcript

We came here following a number of, uh, how should I put it? Remarkable public comments on Greenland and Arctic security. Our aim was to find a joint way forward to increase Arctic security. What can the Kingdom of Denmark do? More? What can us do more? What can NATO do more? The Kingdom of Denmark has already stepped up our own contribution by committing additional funds for military capabilities. Not dog sleds, but ships, drones, fighter jets, etc. and we are definitely ready to do more. We, the Kingdom of Denmark, continue to believe that also the long term security of Greenland can be ensured inside the current framework.

The 1951 agreement on the Defense of Greenland, as well as the NATO treaty for US ideas that would not respect territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are, of course, totally unacceptable, and we therefore still have a fundamental disagreement. But we also agree to disagree, and therefore we will, however, continue to talk. We have decided to form a high level working group to explore if we can find a common way forward. I think it's very important to. Say it again that how important it is from our side to strengthen our cooperation with the United States, but that that doesn't mean that we want to be owned by the United States, but as allies, how we can strengthen our cooperation.

It's all our interest.
