Iceland\u0027s government says \u0022societal resilience\u0022 will be discussed at the meeting.
Zelenskyy acknowledged their phone call on Twitter, describing it as the first in a series. He said he thanked Trudeau for his surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv earlier this month and acknowledged the pair discussed the weekend happenings in Russia.
Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway have all voiced support for Ukraine since Russia launched its attack, and they, along with Canada and the United States, hit pause on working with Russia through the Arctic Council after its invasion in February 2022. NATO has also been paying increasing attention to the Arctic in light of aggression from both Russia and China, Paris added. The Nordic leaders’ summit is happening less than three weeks before NATO leaders travel to Lithuania to meet with allies and discuss the situation in Ukraine.
Trudeau, who accompanied Stoltenberg on that visit, touted plans to spend billions on bolstering Canada’s military, including modernizing the aging Canada-U. S. Norad system which monitors Arctic aerospace. Trudeau’s office said the meetings offer a chance to advance common interests with the Nordic nations, which range from protecting the environment and developing clean energy to tackling security challenges.Article content
