International co-operation

The Nordic Council of Ministers is working more and more closely with its neighbours in the west – Canada, the USA, Great Britain and Ireland.

The Nordic Council of Ministers has enjoyed wide-ranging and close co-operation with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania since the early 1990s.

Since much of its territory, both on land and at sea, falls within the Arctic Circle,  the Nordic Region is therefore strongly involved in issues that concern this unique and harsh, but also vulnerable area.
