The West Nordic Council was founded in Nuuk on 24th September 1985. It is a cooperative forum among the national parliaments of the West Nordic countries: Løgtingið in the Faroe Islands, Inatsisartut in Greenland and Alþingi in Iceland. The council comprises eighteen members of parliament, six from each country. The West Nordic Council’s objectives are to collaborate on West Nordic interests, both regionally and internationally, and to safeguard the environment, resources and culture of the North Atlantic region. These objectives are implemented through recommendations and requests to the governments of the West Nordic countries.
