He stopped there en route to the G7 Summit in Canada alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

China fully respects Denmark's sovereignty and territorial integrity on the Greenland issue, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Danish counterpart on Monday, urging the European nation to reciprocate over China's own sovereignty concerns.
