  • Nyhedsbrev 3 2017
    SEPTEMBER - 2017 NYT FRA GRØNLANDS REPRÆSENTATION I KØBENHAVN 'Nap' - Bryggen Nordpå med Ambassadørerne I sidste nyhedsbrev fortalte vi om en kommende ambassadørrejse til Grønland. Den store ambassadørrejse er nu afsluttet. 4 dage i starten af sommeren, var jeg som Repræsentationschef ledsager for 17 ambassadørers rejse til Grønland. Følgende landes ambassadører deltog; Armenien, Tjekkiet, Letland, Ungarn, Kina, Spanien, Portugal, Irland, Holland, Brasilien, Bangladesh, Belgien, Rumænien, Korea, Georgien, Australien. Arrangørerne var udenrigsministeriets protokol, selvstyrets protokol samt Grønlands repræsentation i København. Rejsen startede i Københavns Lufthavns kongeport og værelse, hvorfra der var en særlig bus som bragte os til Air Greenland. I lokalet var der mulighed for at mødes, glædes og få kaffe, herunder gennemgik UM nogle praktiske informationer om rejsen. Det var tydeligt at mærke at, ambassadørerne var spændte på at komme til Grønland. Der var en forventning til nogle interessante oplevelser. Air Greenlands Airbus var stuvende fyldt, bl.a. var der en stor gruppe turistrejsende fra Kina, som glædede den Kinesiske ambassadør, og han talte med de to guider som ledsagede gruppen. Det var turister som skulle til Kangerlussuaq og videre med skib derfra, i deres grønlandsfærd. Jeg sad selv ved siden af den georgiske ambassadør og én af de PET folk som ledsagede os under hele rejsen, her fik jeg interessante historier om Georgien, et land som grænser op til Rusland, Tyrkiet, Armenien, Aserbajdsjan og endelig til Sortehavet. Jeg lyttede til sproget, som er helt særegent, og tales af de 4,5 mio indbyggere. Der er bjerge med sne og skiområder, mens landbrug er hovederhvervet, inkl. vinproduktion. Dette fik jeg endda en smagning på ved vores sejltur til Ilimanaq senere.
