Denmark has invited high-ranking officials from Norway, Russia, the United States and Canada to meet in Greenland next month to discuss competing claims to the Arctic, it said on Wednesday.
Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller and his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Stoere will join representatives from other countries bordering the Arctic Ocean on May 27-29 in Ilulissat, a town in the Danish autonomous territory.
The countries plan to discuss territorial claims in the Arctic, as well as cooperation on accidents and oil spills and native peoples’ issues, the Danish Foreign Ministry said. They expect to issue a declaration at the end of the meeting.
