The Cooperation Party (Danish: Samarbejdspartiet; Greenlandic: Suleqatigiissitsisut) is a Greenlandic social-liberal[4] party founded by the MP Michael Rosing and Tillie Martinussen.[5]

They advocate 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.

Both the founders are former members of the Democrats.[6]

The party contested the 2018 elections to the Greenlandic parliament and won 1 seat with 1,193 votes.[6]
