Armchair Discussion with Icelandic Foreign Minister Thórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörd Gylfadóttir
Building from a successful Arctic Council Chairmanship from 2019 to 2021, Iceland has continued to advance environment, research, security, and economic development policies in the Arctic. The Iceland-United States bilateral relationship is strong in the Arctic, but certainly expands beyond that—with cooperation based on common values in the spheres of politics, trade, research, energy, and security.
Join the Wilson Center’s Polar Institute for an armchair discussion with Icelandic Minister of Foreign Affairs Thórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörd Gylfadóttir to discuss: Iceland’s position and priorities in the Arctic; the Iceland-United States bilateral relationship, and; current global affairs and how they affect security and cooperation in the North Atlantic.
