EU heads of state and government, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, gathered in Rovaniemi, Finland for an Arctic summit. The meeting aimed to discuss and strengthen the EU's strategic approach to the Arctic, given its increasing geopolitical and economic importance. Key topics included security, infrastructure, and sustainability. The summit comes amidst rising tensions in the region, driven by Russia's actions, China's expanding presence, and past threats from US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland. The EU plans to present a new Arctic strategy later this fall.
