The Norwegian minister responsible for Nordic cooperation, Anders Adlercreutz, along with MP Ville Väyrynen, had scheduled a trip to Greenland from February 15 to 17. However, their plans were thwarted when a connecting flight to Greenland was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. This trip was significant as it was connected to Finland's presidency in the Nordic Council, a position that emphasizes collaboration among Nordic countries.

Ville Väyrynen, who is slated to be the president of the Nordic Council for the calendar year 2026 and serves as the deputy chairman of the delegation, was set to engage in discussions pertinent to the cooperation between Nordic nations during this trip. The cancellation may affect planned discussions and initiatives that are typically part of Finland’s leadership role within the Nordic Council.

The absence of this visit reflects on the logistical challenges often posed by harsh weather conditions in the Arctic regions, which can disrupt political and diplomatic engagements. As Finnish leadership in the Nordic Council evolves, addressing such challenges will be crucial for maintaining cooperation and dialogue among neighboring countries in the region, especially in light of the ongoing issues related to climate change and economic partnership in the Arctic.
