But we can’t negotiate our sovereignty” according to Channel News Asia and India Times.

During ongoing discussions regarding security threats from Russia and China in the Arctic, Frederiksen emphasized the importance of NATO’s role, stating that “defense and security in the Arctic is a matter for the entire alliance.” She expressed Denmark’s openness to dialogue on security matters, provided mutual respect for territorial integrity is maintained, as confirmed by Le Monde and Reuters.
