'the land's-thing of Greenland'), also known as the Parliament of Greenland in English,^[2] is the unicameral parliament (legislative branch) of Greenland, an autonomous territory^[3] in the Danish Realm. Established in 1979, it meets in Inatsisartut, on the islet of Nuuk Center in central Nuuk.

On October 3, 2018, Siumut had Vivian Motzfeldt, the outgoing Foreign Minister, elected. On the 16th of April 2021, Hans Enoksen was elected again.^[4]^[5]
