A Longstanding Partner

Iceland, a longstanding partner of UNESCO, is an active supporter of multilateralism, and continuously works to promote inclusive dialogue and cooperation.

Iceland is firmly committed to UNESCO’s mandate, its basic principles, global priorities, and strategic objectives. 

Iceland shares UNESCO’s goals of promoting peace and security through collaboration in education, science, culture, and communication.

Iceland’s candidacy to the UNESCO Executive Board in 2021 is in line with Iceland’s desire to strengthen its commitment to the Organization and the realisation of UNESCO’S mandate both through its normative work and work on the ground.
