If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Great photos! Lovely to see two more events added to day 2 as well. Fron the photos it does appear the weather is not cooperating like it was yesterday. But, he looks very relaxed and happy and the residents and officials have all given him a warm and enthusiastic welcome. The new PM's smile and excitement could not be bigger tbh!!
 
Today's photos:

 
A great article on the signal/success of the visit

"The entire Royal House has traditionally been very popular in Greenland, but King Frederik still holds a very special place.
"He is more down-to-earth, and many Greenlanders love that. He has been on a dog sled, participated in the Arctic Circle Race, and he expresses his love for the country," explains Arnakkuluk Jo Kleist, adding:
"The fact that he was part of the Sirius Patrol at the time and has been in northernmost Greenland gives him some 'street cred', and people think; He's so cool - because he's one of us. That's given a lot of points over the years."

Wonderful comments about the King. And all true! He is incredibly loved in Greenland and has actually lived there for extended periods in connection with training for the Sirius Patrol and then the 4 months of the expedition itself.
 
Very much so. He seems to have connections with many Greenlanders. A cute anecdote while meeting some of the University students.

"When the students subsequently introduced themselves, the king's interest was piqued when Halumi Daorana from Qaanaaq introduced herself. The king knows Halumi's family and began to talk about Halumi's parents and their little daughter, who turned out to be Halumi's older sister.
-Imagine, it's been 25 years, the King said then."

That's fantastic! - I love this part as well - it shows the connection has been there for many years and how the King personally knows the residents, their families, etc.

"
Student Linda Bagger, who taught herself to drive a dog sled when she was 11, was also asked about her dog team.
Then there was talk of the Greenlandic sled dog, which has proven to be one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, and that the students themselves had investigated the dog's genes. The conversations became more lively, and the King did not seem to be in a hurry to move on, so grouse and reindeer hunts also became good topics of conversation.
-But we have also made you a present ourselves, said Pinnaluk Olsen and gave the gift to the King. We might as well reveal that it is a grouse foot."

Great to see his second event. He has worked previously in strengthening Danish-Chinese business relations.

Yes - great photos from his second event of the day. This is an area that he has worked hard in for years and now, more than ever, it is important to build on those relationships. Frederik has years of experience in these types of engagements.
