Annual Session of the Nordic Council
Heads of governments, ministers, members of parliament and opinion leaders will be gathering in Reykjavik from 27-29 October for the annual session of the Nordic Council, otherwise known as the Nordic summit.
The main topics of the summit will be boosting Nordic cooperation, future visions and international policy. Among those attending will be all of the environment ministers of the Nordic countries, who will be answering questions put to them by members of the Nordic Council.
The summit will also examine the issue of the refugee crisis and its impact on the Nordic countries, as well as Europe more broadly and the world as a whole. Sustainable development in connection with the crisis will likewise be discussed.
Adding a festive touch to the summit each year is the Nordic Council prize ceremony and gala concert, which this year will be held at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik on 27 October.
Attending the summit from the Nordic Council of Ministers' Office in Estonia will be director Christer Haglund and communications adviser Triin Oppi.
