European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is in Greenland to discuss the growing strategic importance of the Arctic with allies. This visit comes in the context of a global power race in the region, which has been intensifying in recent years.
Brussels is preparing a new policy for the Arctic, recognizing the need to update its approach in light of geopolitical transformations in the region. The European Union thus seeks to define a clearer and more robust position regarding developments in the far north of the planet.
Experts in the field have warned that the new European policy for the Arctic must have security and defense at the center of its priorities. This recommendation reflects the growing tensions and competition for resources and routes in the Arctic region.
