DAVOS: While expressing support for Denmark and its independent province, Greenland, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the World Economic Forum in Davos that Russia is a concern in the Arctic.
At the international meeting on Tuesday, Carney declared, “We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland’s future. Additionally, he underlined Canada’s “unwavering” adherence to Article 5 of NATO, which declares that an armed attack on one or more members constitutes an attack on all. According to Carney, his nation is investing in over-the-horizon radar to assist counter Russian missiles, submarines, aircraft, and “boots on the ice” that pose a threat in the Arctic.
In order to protect Arctic sovereignty, the administration is also working with NATO partners, such as the Nordic-Baltic Eight nations (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden), he continued.
Carney stated, “NATO is currently undergoing a test, and the first response to that test has to be to respond in a way that ensures the security of the Arctic in a robust way for all possibilities. Russia is unquestionably a menace in the Arctic. In response to a question concerning the threats China and Russia represent to Greenland, which is rich in mineral resources and situated at the crossroads of international maritime lanes connecting Asia with Europe and North America, he said, “one we need to protect against.
