\"\"\"\"Argyll and Bute\u2019s MP will visit Greenland this week following months of threats from President Trump\u2019s administration on the country\u2019s sovereign status.<\/p>\n

Brendan O\u2019Hara will present the Greenlandic Inatsisartut (parliament) and government with the first ever Greenland tartan \u2013 created by the Great Scot Ltd from Keith in Moray \u2013 and officially lodged and now recognised with Scottish Registry of Tartans.<\/p>\n

The tartan comprises the red and white of the Greenland flag as well as pink, the colour of the country\u2019s national flower, the Dwarf Fireweed.<\/p>\n

The group will be led by Mr O\u2019Hara as All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Greenland \u2013 he will be joined by Alicia Kearns Conservative), Cat Smith MP (Labour) and Liz Saville (Plaid Cymru).<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Hara (SNP) said: \u201cWhen I established this APPG in 2019, I could never have imagined that in just a few short years, Greenland would become the hottest topic in international affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the threat to Greenland from President Trump may have receded in recent weeks, I think it is hugely important that those who believe in sovereignty, international law and a people\u2019s right of self-determination, show their solidarity with the people of Greenland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am particularly pleased that I will have the opportunity to present the first official Greenland Tartan to the parliament and government \u2013 I hope it will act as an ongoing symbol of solidarity \u2013 and reaffirm our resolve to stand with the people of Greenland in the months and years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The visit follows a h high-profile visit of Greenland\u2019s Business and Energy Minister Naaja Natahielsen to Westminster last month \u2013 now members of the Westminster\u2019s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Greenland are to make a reciprocal visit to Nuuk next week.<\/p>\n

The cross-party group will meet with parliamentarians, including the Speaker of the Inatsisartut, various government ministers, including Greenland\u2019s Foreign Minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, as well as members of the business community.<\/p>\n
