On behalf of the people of Iceland, I have sent a letter of condolences to President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera after the tragic death of VP Saulos Chilima and nine others in a plane crash. Our thoughts are with their families at this time of mourning, and with the Malawian people.

Iceland🇮🇸 ranks number 1⃣ on World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index for the fifteenth year in a row! Gender equality is a driver of economic and social development as well as an important factor in the peace and security agenda. Let’s continue on this path and close the gap!

Today we Icelanders celebrate a milestone in our history. On June 17 in 1944, eighty years ago, the Republic of Iceland came into being. Ever since, we have been determined to build a society where we all have equal opportunities to prosper. Long live the Republic of Iceland! 🇮🇸

It was a pleasure hosting my last reception for all ambassadors accredited to Iceland on June 17, our Independence Day and the 80th anniversary of the Republic of Iceland. Thank you all for your service to the benefit of our countries.
