Doha: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte affirmed that the alliance will continue working with Denmark and Greenland on Arctic security. Following a meeting with Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen and Greenland's Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, Rutte said in a post on X platform: "We discussed how important the Arctic ' including Greenland ' is to our collective security and how Denmark is stepping up investments in key capabilities. We ll continue to work together as Allies on these important issues .
