‘Discussions with Diplomats’ Returns with a Nordic Diplomacy Panel
Braving snowy conditions in both Canadian and Nordic spirit, on February 22, 2023, students gathered at the Munk Observatory for the highly anticipated in-person return of the Discussions with Diplomats series.
The University of Toronto’s European Studies Students’ Association (ESSA) has grown this student-led initiative into somewhat of a tradition and hosting the distinguished guests on campus was certainly an exciting occasion.
Students had the opportunity to hear from three Nordic diplomats; Ambassador Roy Eriksson of Finland, Ambassador Hlynur Guðjónsson of Iceland, and Deputy Head of Mission for the Kingdom of Denmark, Jacob Bay Lindkvist. The diplomats generously shared their time and perspectives with students offering invaluable insights on their positions through their introductions and panel discussion, and engaging directly with the students’ questions.
