Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has voiced Greece’s full support for the Joint Declaration on Greenland issued by several European leaders, stressing NATO unity, respect for sovereignty, and the need for collective security.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Mitsotakis said Greece stands firmly behind the declaration, noting that NATO allies share a responsibility to uphold sovereignty and international law.

His statement comes as Mitsotakis attends a high-level meeting in Paris with dozens of international leaders to discuss broader security challenges, including the war in Ukraine.
The Joint Declaration was signed by leaders from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Denmark.
It highlights the strategic importance of the Arctic and reaffirms that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, with decisions about its future resting “exclusively with Denmark and the people of Greenland.”
The declaration also states that Arctic security should be addressed collectively within NATO, in line with the UN Charter and respect for borders and territorial integrity. Greece’s endorsement aligns the country with shared European and transatlantic positions.
