the Nordic Council of Ministers

The Nordic Council of Ministers is the governing body that coordinates cooperation among the Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It brings together government ministers from each country to develop policies and initiatives on common issues like environment, economy, and culture. The goal is to promote collaboration, shared values, and regional stability while respecting each country's sovereignty. The council helps strengthen the Nordic community by finding solutions that benefit all member nations, fostering cooperation without creating a single government or reducing national independence.
