Greenland self-rule to be expanded

SIKU CIRCUMPOLAR NEWS SERVICE

The premiers of Greenland and Denmark met this week to establish a framework for expanding the scope of self-government in Greenland, which has been unchanged since the existing home rule arrangement was set 25 years ago.

The meeting follows the report by the Commission on Self-governance, which was presented to Greenland’s cabinet last April. Greenland’s parliament also discussed the report during its fall session.
