据加拿大全球事务部发布的声明，加拿大与冰岛两国外长周四在雷克雅未克举行会晤，共同呼吁加强北约在北极及北大西洋地区的存在。
Canada and Iceland urged a stronger NATO presence Thursday in the Arctic and North Atlantic during a meeting between their foreign ministers in Reykjavik, according to a statement by Global Affairs Canada.
声明称：“作为北极国家，加拿大与冰岛致力于维护北极地区的安全、稳定与繁荣。在此背景下，两国外长明确表示支持强化北约在北极及北大西洋区域的部署与影响力。” 加拿大外交部长安妮塔·阿南德与冰岛外交部长索尔格杜尔·卡特琳·贡纳斯多蒂尔还就“北极事务、安全防务、共同地缘政治优先事项，以及深化贸易、投资与创新合作伙伴关系的契机”进行了探讨。
"As Arctic nations, Canada and Iceland share a commitment to a secure, stable and prosperous Arctic. In this context, the Ministers underscored their support for a strengthened NATO presence and posture in the Arctic and North Atlantic region.”Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Icelandic Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir discussed "Arctic affairs, security and defence, shared geopolitical priorities, and opportunities to strengthen trade, investment and innovation partnerships," it said.
双方对今年早些时候签署的更新版谅解备忘录所推动的防务安全合作表示欢迎，并以两国驻努克的外交机构合署办公作为务实合作的典型例证。
They welcomed enhanced security and defense cooperation in line with an updated memorandum of understanding signed earlier this year, pointing to the co-location of their diplomatic offices in Nuuk as a practical example.
在乌克兰问题上，两国外长重申对乌克兰主权、独立及其在国际公认边界内的领土完整的坚定支持。
On Ukraine, they reaffirmed their solidarity and full support for that country’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.
此外，双方强调“原住民群体与青年积极参与北极事务”的重要意义。外长们还对探讨欧洲自由贸易联盟成员国（含冰岛、列支敦士登、挪威与瑞士）与加拿大之间自由贸易协定现代化事宜表示欢迎。
They also stressed the value of "active and meaningful participation by Indigenous peoples and youth in Arctic affairs." The ministers welcomed discussions to explore the modernization of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Free Trade Association member states and Canada, including Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
双方还决定由两国使馆牵头，联合私营企业、原住民代表及政府相关方共同组建加冰地热能源合作网络，旨在发掘包括北部偏远地区在内的各类合作机遇。
They agreed to establish an embassy-led Canada-Iceland geothermal network with the private sector, Indigenous partners and government stakeholders to identify collaboration opportunities, including in northern and remote communities.
声明指出：“此项合作充分体现了两国推动绿色能源解决方案发展、加速创新型清洁技术研发与应用的共同愿景。”
"This cooperation reflects a shared common purpose in advancing green energy solutions and accelerating the development and deployment of innovative clean technologies," according to the statement.
