Arctic Council and Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson

Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson: Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson said Russias strongarm tactics in its former satellite could make it harder for the eight nations on the Arctic Council to reach agreements at a time when the region faces a series of critical issues, according to 660 News. Clearly, it has made many players in the Arctic quite worried about developments and whether they might be a sign of what is to come and Russias actions in Ukraine could cause problems for international cooperation in the Arctic, says Icelands prime minister. This has a ripple effect, even though the actual events are far from the Arctic, said Gunnlaugsson, in Edmonton on a trade mission. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
