{{Main|List of diplomatic missions in Greenland}}

With the Kingdom of Denmark having the responsibility for Greenland's international affairs, other countries often do not have direct [[Diplomatics|diplomatic]] representation in Greenland—their embassies or consulates in Denmark are responsible for their relations with Greenland and their citizens in Greenland. Greenland is represented internationally by both the Greenland Representations and the embassies and consulates of Denmark. Further Greenland participates in the parliamentary Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers, and organisations as the [[West Nordic Council]] and the EU-based [[Overseas Countries and Territories Association]], the latter being former colonies of the EU (dependent countries/territories).

The [[United States]] reopened its consulate in June 2020, in Nuuk, after it closed in 1953.<ref name="np20200611">{{Cite news |date=2020-06-11 |title=U.S. opens consulate in Greenland, months after Trump attempt to buy the territory rejected |language=en-CA |work=National Post |agency=The Telegraph |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/world/trump-opens-consulate-in-greenland-months-after-u-s-attempt-to-buy-the-territory-rejected |access-date=2020-07-05}}</ref>
