Greenland is taking a firm stance on enhancing its security and surveillance measures, but without yielding to outside influence. Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen emphasized this commitment on Tuesday, reaffirming the country's autonomous security decisions.

In a dialogue with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at Sciences Po University in Paris, Nielsen acknowledged the need for heightened security in light of current Russian activities. He highlighted the government's responsibility to address the fears and concerns of Greenland's population.
