Canada and Greenland have signed a non-binding cooperation pact on critical minerals that Ottawa says will boost “North-North” cooperation and build economic health and energy security.
The March 2 declaration of intent comes after Ottawa established a consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, early last month. The agreement specifies that Canada and Greenland will collaborate on developing and trading mineral and energy resources, and building a “low-carbon” electricity grid. It also says the two will jointly research how Arctic landscape changes and permafrost could impact infrastructure and supply chains in the future.
