00:00I would of course like to add a few words to the discussion that is taking place right now about Greenland and make it very clear
00:06that seen with the Danish government's glasses, Greenland is the Greenlanders.
00:11It is a very, very proud people, it is a language, it is a culture, it is a population that is its own
00:19and as the chairman of the Natarkasuisut, Moise Edhjø, said, then Greenland is not for sale.
00:25USA is our absolute closest ally. We would always like to work closer with the Americans.
00:31This applies to all defense and security policy issues.
00:35This also applies to the North Atlantic, where tensions are rising.
00:39And we have seen with Western glasses a very clear interest in that it is the USA,
00:44when it comes to the whole area, that it is the USA that plays a big role and not, for example, Russia or other countries.
00:53But Greenland is the Greenlanders.
00:55There are many words in the air right now. First of all, I think we should keep calm.
01:01And then of course we have to stick to the principles that we are working on and that we are working under.
01:07We have a need for a very, very close cooperation with the Americans.
01:10We have that as Denmark, we have that in NATO.
01:13We also have that as a rivalry, because we are in a very, very restless world.
01:18And we are part of the same alliance. So that's important on the one hand.
01:24And on the other hand, I would encourage everyone to respect that the Greenlanders are a people.
01:33It is their country we are talking about here.
01:36And it is only Greenland that, in my eyes, can determine and define Greenland's future.
