40 years ago, Reagan and Gorbachev met in Reykjav铆k for a historic summit that helped pave the way for landmark nuclear arms reduction treaties & the end of the Cold War. Four decades later, the Reykjav铆k Summit remains a strong reminder of the importance of diplomacy & dialogue.

This week has been one of the deadliest for Ukrainian civilians. We reaffirm our comprehensive support to Ukraine, including the expansive use of sanctions to counter Russia鈥檚 illegal war and serial violations of its treaty obligations and international law. Justice must prevail.

Three years have passed since the devastating Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. Today offers an opportunity to reflect and to remember the 1,200 victims and to honor the suffering of the hundreds taken hostage. Efforts must be redoubled to find permanent peace.

NATO strengthens security in our region through enhanced vigilance activities such as Arctic Sentry. Iceland contributes to these efforts to deter and counter Russia鈥檚 malign hybrid activities. Northern Viking demonstrates Iceland鈥檚 enduring commitment as a reliable Ally.
