The Munich Security Conference is running from February 13 to 15.
"We have several different meetings scheduled with US politicians, including with the US minister of foreign affairs, including on Greenland," Frederiksen told the DR broadcaster.
The broadcaster later reported, citing the Greenlandic government, that the Arctic island's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, would also be at the meeting, which is scheduled to take place on Friday, February 13.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the island should become part of the United States. The Danish and Greenlandic authorities have warned Washington against seizing the island, noting that they expect respect for their territorial integrity.
