U.S.-Greenland-Denmark Joint Committee 2007 Meeting

Ambassador Cain, Greenland Home Rule Executive Deputy Minister Kaj Kleist, and Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs State Secretary Ambassador Michael Zilmer-Johns presided December 6 over a videoconference meeting of the U.S.-Greenland-Denmark Joint Committee.  The Joint Committee, created in 2004, provides the United States, Denmark, and Greenland an expanded forum to pursue projects and encourage cooperation across a diverse range of policy areas: environment, science, technology, health, culture, education, trade, and tourism.  Ambassador Cain and his Danish and Greenlandic counterparts, who participated from Copenhagen, were joined in the videoconference by other U.S. Government participants in Washington, and by representatives of the Greenland Home Rule Government in Nuuk.  The next regular meeting of the Joint Committee will take place in early May, 2008, in Washington, DC.
