Home NewsThe NSRA’s Informal Meeting on the Development of the International Cooperation in the Arctic.

An Informal Meeting of journalists, authorities and business circles of the Russian Arctic Zone and the Big Arctic 8 has been approved by Nikolay Korchunov, Ambassador-at-Large for the Arctic Cooperation, and was held online on January 21, 2021.

The NSRA and an American journalist Adrienne Bernhard who writes about the development of the Northern Sea Route (also known as the North-East Passage) for BBC, Wall Street Journal and USA’s and Great Britain’s digital media, are the inspirers and the organizers of the hour-and-a-half conference which was held in English, the language of the Arctic Council and the world’s main institutions.

12 participants of the meeting discussed the NSRA’s work programme for 2021 and the most important matters related to the international cooperation in the Arctic. This subject becomes particularly relevant due to the Russian Federation’s forthcoming chairmanship of the Arctic Council from May 2021 to May 2023.

The NSRA is interested in the successful implementation of Russia’s joint projects; first of all – joint projects with the Arctic Council’s member States – USA, Canada, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland who will soon hand the chairmanship over to our country.

The Arctic Council is quite a young organization; it was founded in Ottawa and will celebrate its 25th Anniversary on this year’s September 19. The NSRA is only 5 years younger and our business partners are full of energy and inspiration required for the development of the fruitful cooperation.
