France (The COW News Digital)French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed France’s strong support for the Kingdom of Denmark, sending a clear political message amid renewed debate over Greenland’s status and sovereignty. Speaking at a joint press conference with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland in Paris, Macron stressed that France would continue to stand united with Denmark on matters of territorial integrity and self-determination.
Addressing international speculation surrounding Greenland, the French president stated unequivocally that the Arctic territory is “not for sale” and cannot be taken by force. He emphasized that any future decisions regarding Greenland must be made solely by its people, underlining the principles of international law and democratic choice.
“France has stood with you in the past, stands with you today, and will continue to stand with you in the future,” Macron said, expressing long-term commitment to Denmark and Greenland. His remarks were widely interpreted as a firm rejection of any external pressure or proposals aimed at altering Greenland’s political status without the consent of its population.

During the press conference, leaders from Denmark and Greenland jointly dismissed suggestions of selling the territory, reiterating that such proposals are unacceptable. Danish officials once again confirmed Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland, while also highlighting the island’s right to self-governance within the kingdom.
Greenland holds growing strategic importance due to its location in the Arctic and its vast natural resources, making it a focal point of global geopolitical interest. In recent years, increased attention from major powers has raised concerns among European leaders about regional stability and respect for national sovereignty.
Macron’s statement was seen as part of a broader European effort to present a unified front on sensitive geopolitical issues, particularly in the Arctic region. Analysts note that France’s public support strengthens Denmark’s diplomatic position and reinforces the European Union’s emphasis on territorial integrity and international cooperation.
The French president also highlighted the importance of dialogue, partnership, and mutual respect between nations, warning against attempts to impose decisions on territories without the will of their people. He added that Europe must remain vigilant and united when fundamental principles are challenged.
The press conference concluded with all three leaders reaffirming their commitment to cooperation, stability, and the right of Greenland’s people to determine their own future. The joint stance sent a strong signal to the international community that Denmark and its allies remain firm on the issue.
