Discussions at the meeting will focus on the competitiveness of the Nordic countries. As part of the presidency of Denmark and the Faroe Islands, the Nordic Council of Ministers has prepared a report on Nordic competitiveness, which will be discussed by the ministers for Nordic cooperation and the Nordic ministers of economic affairs. The ministers will issue a joint declaration on this topic in connection with the meeting. “Together, the Nordic countries are a strong economic force, even on a global scale.
