The party advocates economic liberalisation and privatisation of the large publicly owned companies that dominate the Greenlandic economy. [2]
The Cooperation Party is in favour of increased cooperation within the unity of the Realm, increased immigration to Greenland and better integration and inclusion of immigrants and minorities. [6] Another main priority for the party is more support for the socially vulnerable, especially sexually abused children and youth.
