On September 15, representatives from the governments of the United States of America and Greenland met in Nuuk under the Common Plan for U.S.-Greenland Cooperation in Support of Our Understanding for Pituffik (“Common Plan”).

This Joint Committee, created under the 2004 Igaliku Agreements, is intended to realize the objectives of the Common Plan, through diplomatic engagement and agency and ministry cooperation, to contribute to strengthening the partnership and the prosperous relationship between the United States of America and Greenland. The Joint Committee seeks to strengthen the ties between the people of the United States and Greenland in four primary areas: trade and investment, energy and mining sector cooperation, educational and cultural cooperation, and scientific and environmental cooperation.

Den 15. september mødtes repræsentanter fra USA’s og Grønlands regeringer i Nuuk som led i den fælles plan for Samarbejde mellem USA og Grønland (”The Common Plan for U.S.-Greenland Cooperation in Support of Our Understanding for Pituffik”). Under møderne i Nuuk startede USA og Grønland fællesudvalget (”Joint Committee”) op igen, og genbekræftede deres støtte til den fælles plan, der blev underskrevet i oktober 2020.
Fællesudvalget, etableret under Igaliku-aftalerne fra 2004, har til hensigt at realisere målene for den fælles plan gennem diplomatisk engagement og samarbejde mellem styrelser og ministerier for at bidrage til at styrke partnerskabet og det udbytterige forhold mellem USA og Grønland. Fællesudvalget søger at styrke båndene mellem befolkningerne i USA og Grønland inden for fire primære områder: Handel og investeringer, samarbejde inden for energi- og minesektoren, uddannelses- og kultursamarbejde, samt videnskabeligt og miljømæssigt samarbejde.
