It’s time for an Arctic Council ministerial summit that puts the meat in the meeting

By Alexander Shestakov May 9, 2017

This week, foreign ministers from Arctic states will gather in Fairbanks, Alaska, to collectively chart a course for the Arctic Council for the next two years and beyond. This is in some ways a remarkable event: Foreign ministers from countries that have had a fractious relationship recently are still willing to show up and meet in person. Despite the disputes elsewhere, this meeting is a manifestation of the desire of the Arctic states to continue working cooperatively in this part of the world.
