Great visit. Thanks for your continued commitment and friendship @USAmbNATO 🇮🇸🤝🇺🇸 #WeareNATO
At exercise Northern Viking in Iceland, I saw firsthand how U.S. and Icelandic forces train alongside fellow @NATO Allies to protect vital sea lanes and secure the Arctic, and how Icelandic technology is giving Allied forces an operational edge. Building our readiness and capabilities will deter threats and defend the Alliance in the Arctic.
A good run with my formidable team @IcelandNATO on our National Day🇮🇸 🎉followed by the traditional Icelandic pönnukaka - the best 🥞around. The perfect preparation for the #NATO Defence Ministerial meeting tomorrow.
Great conversation and always a pleasure to welcome 🇮🇸 FM @thorgkatrin to #NATO HQ.
Good meeting at NATO HQ with @DepSecGenNATO Radmila Shekerinska. I briefed her about Iceland´s new defence & security policy, unanimously adopted by parliament. 🇮🇸 is a committed NATO Ally & welcomes increased focus on the Arctic. Support for Ukraine remains of utmost importance.
Meeting with the press @NATO HQ in the run up to a Defence Ministerial meeting. Always a pleasure to welcome 🇮🇸 FM @thorgkatrin and her entourage to Brussels. Important meeting ahead.

Delighted to welcome 🇮🇸 Deputy Speaker of @Althingi @bryndisharalds to #NATO HQ on the occasion of the NATO Parliamentary Summit. Ever important to foster this vital link between #NATO and the wider public.
A hidden treasure in #NATO archives and a wonderful gift on 🇮🇸 National day. A 1964 magazine, Viðhorf, on international affairs, featuring a preamble written by the then SecGen of NATO, Dirk Stikker, who also served as 🇳🇱 ambassador to Iceland. 🙏 Kjartan for the gesture 🎈
Delighted to welcome 🇮🇸 Prime Minister @KristrunFrosta to #NATO HQ. Great meeting with @SecGenNATO on the road to the Hague Summit. Plenty to talk about, including the war in #Ukraine, security in the #Arctic and 🇮🇸 valued contributions to the Alliance.
Dynamic Mongoose in action.
9 Allies are taking part in a submarine exercise in and around the waters of Iceland 🇮🇸
The exercise brings together Allied navies and air forces to enhance undersea capabilities and strengthen transatlantic cooperation 🤝
