00:00I want to just be very clear about the UK's approach. As the Prime Minister has said this
00:19morning, the future of Greenland is for the Greenlanders and for the Danes alone. Greenland
00:26is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark and those principles around sovereignty are crucial.

00:46We have been almost in daily contact for the last week or so, but it's nice to have this
00:53opportunity to meet face to face. I'm not here in order to ask for your support, I'm
00:59here to thank you for your support. We know that we can count on UK when it comes to some
01:05basic principles.
