Thank you for our constructive meeting today Sheldon Whitehouse and Sen. Lisa Murkowski on the fringes of #ArcticCircle2021. 🇺🇸 remains one of 🇮🇸 closest friend and ally and our cooperation in the fields of #trade, #security and the #Arctic is always becoming stronger.






Pleasure to meet FM Anniken Huitfeldt for the first time. We agreed that 🇮🇸&🇳🇴 must continue to work together towards our shared values, e.g. within the Arctic Council, the United Nations and the #EEA-cooperation.


Had a good meeting with FM Pekka Haavisto at #Copenhagen today. Next year 🇮🇸&🇫🇮 will celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations🎉. This will be a good opportunity to further strengthen our bilateral relations in areas such as #business and #trade

Iceland 🇮🇸 has just been elected to the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Executive Board at the #unescoGC in Paris 🗳 with 168 votes out of 178, more than any other candidate country.

The ongoing human rights violations by the Lukashenko regime must stop and the 887 political prisoners held in custody should be released immediately. We stand with the people of #Belarus. #StandWithBelarus Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya
