The 2025 summit marked a major milestone, bringing together participants from 27 countries and amplifying voices from across the Arctic. We can’t wait to take it even further in April 2026 — save the date and join us next spring!

Safeguarding the Pacific Arctic is a priority we share with Japan and the Republic of Korea.
With Foreign Minister @moteging and Foreign Minister @FMChoHyun, I signed a Memorandum of Cooperation creating the Trilateral Arctic Pacific Partnership to explore maritime cooperation and economic partnership in the Pacific Arctic.

Thank you Anchorage for these stunning views! I'm in Alaska to represent the EU at the Arctic Encounter Summit @AESymposium, the largest annual Arctic policy event in the US. Environmental, security, and defense concerns are on the docket. The EU has a strategy. More to come!

At @AESymposium, I emphasized that EU engagement in the Arctic is a strategic priority. With three Member States and over 500K EU citizens in the region, the EU is taking Arctic security seriously—updating its Arctic Strategy & working closely with partners on concrete solutions.

And personally, glad to have been able to spend some time in my favourite U.S. state, alongside some of my favourite people, including the amazing team @AESymposium, led by the indomitable @rachelkallander, who I am endlessly proud to call my friend.
We are so grateful that you could join the excursion to Kotzebue & also participate in the Arctic Encounter Summit, @RuthBajada!
Leaving the Last Frontier with a deeper appreciation for what it means to live respectfully in balance with nature. Thank you @AESymposium, Mayor Saima Chase, and the entire Iñupiat community in Kotzebue for your generosity, knowledge sharing, and warm welcome 🌞
Thanks to the @StateDept for engaging meaningfully with our 2026 fellows cohort & for bringing out a delegation of State leadership to the 2026 Summit! 🇺🇸
In Anchorage, @StateDept Senior Arctic Official George Noll met with emerging Arctic leaders from @AESymposium’s Northern Vision Fellows Program to discuss U.S. Arctic priorities and how the Department advances economic and national security across 🇺🇸 and all Arctic nations.
Thank you, @lisamurkowski & @SenPeterWelch, for participating in the Arctic Encounter Summit & for your leadership for/in the North! 🌎
This weekend, @SenPeterWelch and I attended the @AESymposium in Anchorage before hosting the Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region in Fairbanks, where we were joined by seven parliamentary delegations, 22 parliamentarians, two regional parliamentary observers, and the permanent participants.
As the world increasingly focuses on the Arctic, gatherings like these are more important than ever, bringing together academics, scientists, diplomats, military, and industry leaders.
The shared challenges we face can only be addressed through cooperation. It was encouraging to work together on opportunities to strengthen energy security, scientific research, mutual defense, free trade, and more.
My thanks to everyone who traveled from across the Arctic to connect and collaborate—because in these turbulent times, our relationships matter more than ever.
