Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "On my way to the UNGA high-level week, I am pleased to pay my first bilateral visit to Iceland.

I held productive talks with my Icelandic colleague, Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, building on the recent visits by President Zelenskyy and Chairman Stefanchuk.

I informed my colleague about the situation in Ukraine, Russia's relentless terror, the blockade in the Black Sea, and our ongoing peace efforts.

We followed up on the agreements reached during President Zelenskyy's visit and agreed to accelerate preparations for the signing of the Drone Deal between our countries.

Ukraine is ready to share its unique experience in protecting critical infrastructure with our closest friends, among whom Iceland undoubtedly ranks.

We also discussed ways to deepen practical cooperation between Ukraine and the Joint Expeditionary Force.

Ahead of the UNGA high-level week, we coordinated our positions on the most pressing international issues.

We paid special attention to Russia's destabilising activities across Europe and ways to counter them.

Energy resilience remains a critical issue ahead of winter — and I am grateful to Iceland for its readiness to continue vital support.

I thanked Minister Gunnarsdóttir for her strong personal engagement, for her advocacy of our shared initiatives in every international forum, and for Iceland's consistent and sincere support for Ukraine".
