More important role for the Nordic Region in Europe
Commenting on the outcome of the UK referendum, the Secretary General of the Nordic Council of Ministers Dagfinn Høybråten says that well-integrated and effective Nordic co-operation will be even more meaningful in this new situation. The majority of the British electorate voted to leave the European Union in a referendum on Thursday – a decision that will have consequences for Nordic co-operation.
“It’s too early to assess the impact of the result of the British referendum,” Høybråten said; “but it is my belief that Nordic co-operation will be further deepened as a result.”
The ambition of the Nordic Council of Ministers is to boost the importance, visibility, and role of Nordic political values in Europe.
