Brussels

Greenland's Mission to the EU in Brussels was established in 1992, then under the name Greenland's Representation in Brussels.

Washington

The Greenlandic Representation in Washington was officially initiated september 24th 2014 and placed in the same building as the Danish Embassy. In 2015 the head of the representation was moreover accredited to Canada. 

At the moment the representation consists of the head of the representation, a secretary and an intern.

The relation between Greenland, the US and Canada comes naturally as a result of the nations common geographical placement on  the North American continent. In previous times, the relation to the US has primarily consisted of their military presence on Greenlandic ground. The defense agreement in 1951 replaced the old agreement between Denmark and the US from 1941.

The relationship between Greenland and Canada is strong. Especially in connection to the Arctic Council and under the auspices of the Arctic coastal states. Furthermore, over the years Greenland has built a strong relation and partnerships with the organization ICC in Canada and the government of Nunavut.

The functions of the Greenlandic Representation in Washington include but are not limited to strengthening the bilateral relations between Greenland, the US and Canada in the following areas: Political, economic, trade, education, research and culture. Moreover the representation provides information about greenlandic conditions in North America and the other way round assists the Greenlandic Government and the central administration.

The staff of the Representation consists of:

  • Head of representation, Kenneth Høegh
  • Embassy secretary, Rebecca Lynge
  • Secretary, Nina O'Shaughnessy
  • Intern

Possible areas of cooperation has been identified and specific collaboration in the western north, The Nordic Council and The Council of Ministers has developed.
