Citing a need to “further American interests and cooperation with Alliance and partners in the Arctic, the U.S. State Department today announced President Biden’s intention to appoint an Ambassador-at-Large for the Arctic Region, with the position subject to confirmation once a nomination is submitted to the Senate.
The State Dept. said that the position will advance U.S. policy in the region, engage with counterparts in Arctic and non-Arctic nations, and work closely with domestic stakeholders, working in close partnership with the U.S. Senior Arctic Official, the federal Arctic science community, and the Arctic Executive Steering Committee.
