The UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, will be speaking at the Nordic Council in Oslo
The UK Prime Minister will be addressing the full Nordic Council in the Plenary Room of the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget). The audience will also include the Nordic Prime Ministers, who will be holding their annual summit meeting with the Council directly after Theresa May’s speech.
The President of the Nordic Council, Michael Tetzschner, is looking forward to the meeting with Theresa May. He emphasises that the Nordic countries are keen to continue the current good collaboration with the UK after Brexit.
“The UK is one of the most important partners for our Nordic countries, not least in terms of trade, the economy and security. We enjoy very good collaboration with the UK, and naturally we will be working to ensure that our relations continue to be excellent in the future. All parties will benefit from the fine collaboration continuing,” says Michael Tetzschner.
