Last Sunday, a good percentage of Iceland at NATO 🇮🇸 participated in the #genthalfmarathon. A great day - beautiful city and course, and the locals out in numbers cheering. And we all made it in decent time. The best run-up to the #NATO Foreign Ministerial Meetings later this week 🏃‍♂️

“The ability to protect sea lines of communication and monitor submarine activity remains a top priority for NATO. Iceland, with its strategic location in the GIUK Gap, plays a pivotal role in North Atlantic security.” Important exercise hosted by Iceland 🇮🇸

A hidden treasure in #NATO archives and a wonderful gift on 🇮🇸 National day. A 1964 magazine, Viðhorf, on international affairs, featuring a preamble written by the then SecGen of NATO, Dirk Stikker, who also served as 🇳🇱 ambassador to Iceland. 🙏 Kjartan for the gesture 🎈
