The council, established in 1996, brings together the eight Arctic states — copyright, Denmark (through Greenland), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the US — to collaborate on non-military issues. For years, it functioned effectively by focusing on practical, low-conflict areas such as environmental protection, search and rescue coordination, and oil spill response. This pragmatic approach allowed the council to thrive, even during periods of broader geopolitical tension.

Observer states, including faraway Singapore and major players such as China, contribute expertise and funding, but have no vote. สล็อต เว็บตรง
