Greenland's incoming Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Monday that he was looking forward to a visit from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen this Wednesday, and that Greenland had been wishing for this visit.

Frederiksen on Saturday announced that she would visit Greenland on April 2-4 for talks with the semi-autonomous Danish territory's new government, amid U.S. interest in taking control of the Arctic island.

"Denmark is our closest partner, and it is natural that we meet as soon as possible," Nielsen wrote in a post on Facebook.
