List of diplomatic missions in Greenland
This page lists diplomatic missions resident in Greenland, a constituent country of Denmark. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark which is physiographically a part of the continent of North America. At present, the country hosts 13 honorary consuls and one fully staffed consulate general, via Iceland's diplomatic post in the capital city of Nuuk.[1] The United States opened a consulate in 1940, following the Nazi occupation of Denmark, and closed the consulate in 1953. The United States, which, alongside the European Union and Iceland, is host to a Greenland Representative Office, plans to reopen a Nuuk consulate general in 2020.[2][3][4]
