The Norwegian mission in Greenland is being established to strengthen cooperation with Greenlandic authorities, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) stated at a press conference on Friday.
Among other things, maritime issues, he said, according to the news agency NTB.
According to Støre, the seven Arctic NATO countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark (through Greenland), Canada, the US, Finland and Iceland - have developed a new strategy for the Arctic. He underlined the strategic importance of the Arctic and the northern regions for Norway.
The announcement comes at a time of increased focus on security in the Arctic, after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of Greenland from Denmark.
