Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Arctic Security.
Arctic Security
My hon. Friend makes a really important point. The 1951 agreement has huge flexibility and provides for considerable joint working between the US, Denmark and Greenland on strengthening security in that part of the Arctic. I know that many countries will be keen to work with them on exactly that, which is why we think the talks that began last week between the Danish Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State and Vice-President were an important opportunity to explore the 1951 treaty.
