Iceland - China, free trade deal (By Sylodium, international trade directory)

Johanna Sigurdardottir, Icelandic Prime Minister is going to undertake an official visit to China on 15-18 April, according to her office. During the visit the two sides will sign a free trade deal between Reykjavik and Beijing, the first of its kind in Europe. The North Atlantic Island with a population of 320.000 is situated strategically in the middle of what in the future could become an important new maritime transport route between Europe and Asia. Arctic ice melting and the subsequent improved access to Arctic waters will make the Northern Sea Route open up for commercial shipping and that could turn Iceland into a new regional hub in international shipping. For China, the relations with Iceland are potentially very important in Arctic affairs.
