Nordic Council Continues Support for Greenland’s Autonomy as Finland Leads Council in 2026

Nordic Council’s Finnish-led presidency continues support for Greenland’s autonomy as stated in a joint declaration by Finnish MP Ville Väyrynen and Swedish MP Kim Berg. The declaration, posted on the Council’s website, affirms that the right of self-determination belongs to Greenland and Denmark, and that international law obliges other states to respect that principle. It also notes that Finland and Åland will chair the Council’s agenda for 2026, focusing on Nordic comprehensive security. The Council, established in 1952, includes the Nordic parliaments and the autonomous territories of Åland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. Finland’s leadership role is part of a rotating schedule among the member states.
