In the context of geopolitical shifts, the Arctic region is of strategic interest to many countries, including Russia and China.
In view of Russia’s increasing military activities in the region around the North Pole, the USA and NATO want to become more active there. “NATO must increase its presence in the Arctic,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told Welt am Sonntag. Moscow is in the process of reopening Soviet-era bases and stationing new, state-of-the-art weapons such as hypersonic missiles there. China is also showing increasing interest in the Arctic.
The Arctic includes areas of different countries: the USA, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Canada, Norway, Sweden and Russia. Washington announced on Friday that it would appoint its first Arctic special envoy to “advance American interests and cooperation with allies and partners in the Arctic.” The US Senate still has to approve the plan.
