This morning Faroese Foreign Minister Jenis av Rana met with his US colleague, Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
They discussed relations between the Faroe Islands and the United States and the Partnership Declaration signed last year, noting this as a major vehicle for increased cooperation in areas such as trade, business and industry, sustainable energy, research and education.
The Arctic and North Atlantic were also on the agenda. Foreign Minister av Rana emphasised the importance of international cooperation and multilateral engagement in the region to meet future challenges, maintain low tension, ensure innovation and sustainable development and protect Arctic ecosystems. A Faroese diplomatic representation in Washington and a US consulate in the Faroe Islands were also mentioned.
