Norway also offered to organise a meeting of the Arctic Council &#8211; its 14th &#8211; in 2025, a notable move as all members participate in meetings, meaning Russia would also be invited. Still, this did not mean Russia was being brought back into the fold, experts said. &#8220;It&#8217;s an opening,&#8221; said Svein Vigeland Rottem, a senior researcher in Arctic governance and security at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo. &#8220;It&#8217;s clear we should continue cooperating (with Russia), but when and how is not clear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Arctic Council was created in 1996 to discuss issues affecting the polar region, ranging from pollution to local economic development to search-and-rescue missions. It comprises the eight Arctic states of Russia, the United States, Canada, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark. At the time of Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in February last year, Russia was halfway through its two-year chairmanship of the council, which rotates between members.<\/p>\n<p>This led the other seven Arctic nations to pause cooperation with Moscow, putting about a third of the Council&#8217;s 130 projects on hold because they had direct Russian involvement. Russia called the action &#8220;regrettable&#8221;. In a separate statement, Norway said that contacts with Russia would remain for now at the level of senior civil servants, not at the top, political level. &#8220;Political contact with Russia is not possible, but we will continue to be predictable in our dealings with Russia in the Arctic Council,&#8221; Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Thursday&#8217;s event, Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Eivind Vad Petersson said it was in the interest of all Arctic states to maintain the council. &#8220;We need to safeguard the Arctic Council as the most important international forum for Arctic cooperation and make sure it survives,&#8221; he told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/norway-takes-over-arctic-council-leadership-russia-2023-05-11\/\">Reuters<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/norway-takes-over-arctic-council-leadership-from-russia\/\">Norway takes over Arctic Council leadership from Russia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1682,1960,555,2304,1014,588],"class_list":["post-114208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-arctic","tag-council","tag-csr-news-en","tag-leadership","tag-norway","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114208\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
