Louis Michel
Vice-Eerste Minister en Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken
14 mei 2002: IJsland
Korte uitleg over het land
IJsland is het dunstbevolkste land van Europa. Op een oppervlakte van 103.000 vierkante meter wonen maar 270.000 inwoners. IJsland is één van de unieke landen waarvan men de oorsprong kan nasporen. IJsland werd namelijk pas in de laatste decennia van de negende eeuw gekoloniseerd
Reykjavík is de hoofdstad van de republiek IJsland. De meeste inwoners zijn werkzaam in de visserij en fabrieksindustrie. Daarnaast werken veel IJslanders in de handel en dienstverlening. Er is een grote variëteit aan lichte industrie.
Modern en verrassend
Reykjavik is een moderne en verrassende stad, met veel verschillende winkels, musea, uitstekende restaurants en een bruisend nachtleven. Al snel vallen de uitgestrekte woonwijken op, die uit nieuwe, degelijk gebouwde huizen bestaan. Reykjavík wekt de indruk van een welgestelde buitenwijk, waar elke vorm van stress ontbreekt. Moderne woningen, beelden, brede wegen, nieuwe auto's en overal ruimte in overvloed. In het oude stadscentrum maken de kleurig geverfde huizen van golfplaat langzaam plaats voor moderne betonnen kantoorgebouwen, appartementen en winkels.
Doel van de reis
De Navo heeft een raad opgericht van 19 buitenlandse-ministers die samen met Rusland, het terrorisme en massavernietingswapens moet verkomen.

over te slaan. ''Binnen had hij het te warm en buiten was het te koud'', zei een
