EU pushes direct Greenland subsea cable with Canada, South Korea and Japan link plan
The European Union has formalised plans to build its first subsea internet cable directly linking Europe and Greenland. In a new Arctic strategy document, the EU said it would support a sovereign, secure and resilient connection. The Pan-Arctic Cable could later extend via Canada to Asia, including a possible link to Japan and South Korea, without passing through the United States. The EU has already committed $119 million, or 107 million euros, to strengthen Greenland’s secure connectivity.
