The Foreign Minister of Iceland, Bjarni Benediktsson, arrived in the national capital on Sunday.

The Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Randhir Jaiswal, extended a warm welcome to the Icelandic Foreign Minister.

Sharing on social media 'X', Randhir Jaiswal stressed that Benediktsson's visit will further strengthen India-Iceland ties, including in trade and investment.

"A warm welcome to FM @Bjarni_Ben of Iceland to India. His visit is set to further strengthen our ties, including in trade and investment," the MEA spokesperson posted.

 

India and Iceland have, despite the distance and contrast in population size, reached out to each other to build friendships based on shared values and mutual interests.

A string of high-level visits since 2000 has imparted new dynamism to bilateral relations, according to the MEA.
