“Today, I had the honour of welcoming Iceland’s president, Halla Tómasdóttir to the Swedish Government Offices. Together we discussed regional cooperation, the transatlantic link and our steadfast support for Ukraine. Since Sweden’s entry into NATO, Sweden and Iceland are more intertwined than ever. This year, Sweden and Iceland celebrate 85 years of diplomatic relations”, says Mr Kristersson.
At their bilateral meeting, Mr Kristersson and Ms Tómasdóttir discussed Sweden and Iceland’s cooperation to continue supporting Ukraine, strengthen the two countries’ joint resilience and promote trade and investment.
