The Republic of Iceland is celebrating its 80th anniversary, including 74 years spent at @coe defending its shared values of democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
Today we Icelanders celebrate a milestone in our history. On June 17 in 1944, eighty years ago, the Republic of Iceland came into being. Ever since, we have been determined to build a society where we all have equal opportunities to prosper. Long live the Republic of Iceland! 🇮🇸
