European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has arrived in Greenland for a two-day visit aimed at strengthening the island's ties with the European Union.
She is offering an additional โฌ200 million in support. The EU also plans to double its direct assistance, which would bring the amount in the next budget to โฌ530 million.
Greenland belongs to Denmark but has autonomy. The visit is intended to show that Greenland is part of Europe and to confirm the EU's support for the island.
Greenland and the European Union plan to sign a joint statement during the visit. Greenland has attracted more attention from the United States and NATO, while its location and raw materials have made it increasingly important to the EU.
