"We had a very good meeting. I consider UK as one of our biggest and most important allies and Keir as a close friend and colleague to me and to Denmark. We have agreed tonight that we will work closely together on the Arctic region and the need for ensuring the security environment in what we call the high North, including Greenland and the Arctic region in general. So it was a very good meeting. And not only looking at the Arctic region, we have agreed to work closer together on defence and deterrence and on the different security issues that are surrounding us in these years."

STORYLINE:
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met her UK counterpart Keir Starmer on Tuesday to discuss security issues, including the situation regarding Greenland.
Starmer welcomed Frederiksen to 10 Downing Street in London.
"We have agreed tonight that we will work closely together on the Arctic region and the need for ensuring the security environment in what we call the high North, including Greenland and the Arctic region in general," Frederiksen said after the meeting.
Before taking office for his second term on January 20, the U.S. President Donald Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security.
The U.S. president reiterated his ambitions on the issue in comments to reporters last week.
Frederiksen also expressed her condolences to the victims of a mass shooting at an adult education centre in Sweden on Tuesday.
