LI Vice President Henrik Bach Mortensen visited Nuuk, the Capital of Greenland last week to establish political ties to the Liberal Party of Greenland, Atassut. The party for decades has been a sister party of Venstre, the Danish Liberal Party.

VP Mortensen met with Minister Bentiaraq Ottosen and party staff of Atassut which is part of the coalition government.

The talks centrered on Arctic political issues, cooperation between Greenland and Denmark within the Danish Commonwealth and future relations between Atassut and LI.

VP Mortensen was later joined by ALDE VP Eva Kjer Hansen for a trip to the ice cap to study the effects of climate changes.
