Sudan faces one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. Today, @UN_HRC, 🇮🇸 on behalf of Nordics & Baltics, underlined need for accountability & unhindered access to El Fasher & other areas. Breaking the cycle of violence & impunity is vital to prevent further catastrophe.

Iceland is an integral part of our European family. It was a great pleasure to welcome PM @KristrunFrosta in Brussels. Iceland is working closely with the European Union in defending democracy and the rule-based international order. We also discussed how to deepen our cooperation, including security in the Arctic region. In the coming months, we will continue developing our relationship further, including the area of security and defense.

I had an excellent meeting with @KristrunFrosta Iceland is an integral part of the European family — and the challenges we face, we face together. We discussed Iceland’s role in our efforts to strengthen the security and defence of our continent, as well as the evolving geostrategic landscape in the Arctic. We also addressed the impact of US tariffs on the global economy. As a member of our Single Market, Iceland’s close integration will be fully taken into account in our collective response.
