Foreign relations of Greenland#Diplomatic representations

{{Main|List of diplomatic missions in Greenland}}

With the Kingdom of Denmark having the responsibility for Greenland's international affairs, other countries often do not have direct diplomatic representation in Greenland—their embassies or consulates in Denmark are responsible for their relations with Greenland and their citizens in Greenland. Greenland is represented internationally by both the Greenland Representations and the embassies and consulates of Denmark. Further Greenland participates in the parliamentary Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers, and organisations as the West Nordic Council and the EU-based Overseas Countries and Territories Association, the latter being former colonies of the EU (dependent countries/territories).

The United States reopened its consulate in June 2020, in Nuuk, after it closed in 1953.{{Cite news |date=2020-06-11 |title=U.S. opens consulate in Greenland, months after Trump attempt to buy the territory rejected |language=en-CA |work=National Post |agency=The Telegraph |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/world/trump-opens-consulate-in-greenland-months-after-u-s-attempt-to-buy-the-territory-rejected |access-date=2020-07-05}}

The Premier of Greenland is unable to speak to a foreign leader without a Danish ambassador present.{{Cite news |last=Jungersen |first=Rasmus |date=2025-01-10 |title=Grønlænderne vil ikke være danskere - eller amerikanere: Her er de vigtigste pointer fra pressemøde |url=https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/groenlaenderne-vil-ikke-vaere-danskere-eller-amerikanere-her-er-de-vigtigste-pointer |access-date=2025-01-10 |publisher=Danish Broadcasting Corporation |language=da-DK}} Greenland has representative offices in several countries and otherwise is represented by embassies of Denmark worldwide. The Self-Government Act of 2009 allows the government of Greenland to open diplomatic offices, mainly within areas of full jurisdiction of Greenland, this being foreign trade, industry, fisheries, education, science, mining etc. Further Greenlandic diplomats, representing the government of Greenland, participate in areas of shared responsibilities between Denmark and Greenland, this mainly being observed in the defence cooperation between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States.{{r|berlingske20191104}}
