In its international collaboration, the Nordic Council will particularly prioritise its immediately surrounding areas, i.e., the Baltic Sea area, the Arctic, Europe, and our neighbours. The Nordic Council promotes the international strategy’s objectives in its relations with other parliamentary organisations, the most important of which are the Baltic Assembly, BSPC, the European Parliament, CPAR, the West Nordic Council, and the Benelux Parliament. The Nordic Council has entered into agreements or similar on collaboration with the above parliamentary assemblies. In addition to these, the Nordic Council prioritises in its international activities a number of other regions and actors: Ukraine, Germany and Schleswig-Holstein, the UK and Scotland, the US, and Canada, and the democratic opposition in Russia and Belarus.
