About the Icelandic Ministry
for Foreign Afairs
About the Swiss Federal Department
for Foreign Afairs
The Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Afairs’ main issue
areas are international relations, international trade
and international development cooperation. The
respect for human rights, development cooperation
and the peaceful resolution of disputes are deined as
cornerstones of Iceland’s foreign policy. Development
Cooperation is one of the main pillars of Iceland’s
foreign policy. Emphasis is placed on gender equality
and the sustainable use of natural resources, issues
relating to women and children, education, health
and peaceful resolution of conlict. Backing women
and men equally in realizing their business potential
is crucial in that endeavor.
The Federal Department for Foreign Afairs (FDFA)
formulates and coordinates Swiss foreign policy on
the instructions of the Federal Council. A coherent
foreign policy is a precondition for the efective
protection of Swiss interests vis-à-vis foreign countries.
The FDFA seeks to ensure, by means of consultation
and internal training, that the gender aspect is deliber-
ately and systematically integrated into its work. Both
in multilateral engagement and in bilateral relations
the rights of women are a matter of special concern.
The aim is more efective protection against discrimi-
nation, exploitation and gender speciic violence.
