In First Interview, Canada's Envoy to Greenland Says New Post Seeks 'Concrete' Gains
Canada’s one-person consulate in Nuuk aims to expand trade, mobility, and Arctic security with Greenland amid growing geopolitical tensions, Global Affairs Canada said.
- In Nuuk, Canada established a one-person consulate described as a 'micro mission,' housed inside Iceland's consulate, as reported on Feb. 21, 2026.
- Following geopolitical strain, Ottawa promised the consulate as part of a broader Arctic push, and Greenland's foreign minister called for closer cooperation on trade, transport, and security.
- On logistics and outreach, Julie Crêteau has been establishing contacts across government, business and Inuit sectors to advise Ottawa and Copenhagen, aiming for 'concrete progress' within a few years.
- Locals and advocacy groups say Canada’s new consulate should produce 'concrete' gains for Canadians, with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami expecting Inuit voices to be included and the 2022 Inuit mobility agreement pressed, according to the diplomat.
- Canada will learn from Denmark's chairmanship of the Arctic Council until 2029, while Crêteau remains in Nuuk until August as part of the micro mission.
