Spain says it is unaware of any French plan for Greenland

MADRID- Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Wednesday that Spain was not aware of any plan by France regarding Greenland, nor that such a plan had been shared with other European partners.

France said earlier on Wednesday it was discussing a response with European partners should the United States act on its threat to take over Greenland.

"We are not aware of a plan by the French in Greenland, nor that one has been shared with other European partners," Albares told a news briefing after a cabinet meeting.

He also said that regarding Russia's war in Ukraine, countries negotiating the cessation of hostilities were still far from a peace plan, adding that there was only an outline of ideas at this stage.
