Photo Gallery: Canadian consulate opens in Greenland

By Canadian Press on February 7, 2026.

The Canadian flag was raised and dozens of people joined in a spontaneous version of O Canada on Friday as Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand officially opened the new consulate in Nuuk, Greenland.

Canada announced plans for the new diplomatic mission in December 2024, before U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his threats to annex the Danish territory.

The consulate took on new significance in recent weeks as NATO allies moved to back the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Here are some photos, taken by Canadian Press photographer Christinne Muschi, from the event along with some scenes of daily life in Greenland.
