Greenland and Faroese leaders to meet Icelandic prime minister

Greenlandic government leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Faroese government leader Beinir Johannesen will meet Icelandic Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir in Iceland on Wednesday, mbl.is reports.

Frostadóttir invited the leaders for a consultation meeting. They will also visit the security area at Keflavík Airport and meet international investors focused on opportunities in the West Nordic region and the Arctic.

The meeting will be the first time the leaders of the West Nordic governments have gathered in one of the countries specifically to discuss shared interests. It will also be the first visit to Iceland for both leaders since they took office.

The meeting follows Frostadóttir’s first bilateral visits as prime minister, to Tórshavn in May and Nuuk in October last year. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to arrive in Iceland on Monday.
