council so can we expect deals on the arctic to be signed there as well. i think that is a very strong possibility i think many arctic how trees are interested and for the developing their ties with china is very interesting. several arctic resources including potentially seafood in the case of iceland geothermal energy and various other goods and services in the region so yes it is very possible as you just said there are some countries that are interested in corporation with china. but there are some countries that actually might blog and stop chinese interest there for example norway now is that a possibility or is china too powerful and rich to be stuck. well i don't believe. norway is interested in kind of hiring the current diplomatic in-house between it and china to the arctic council i don't believe that there is an attempt to try to get there there is however been some problems of the kind of downgrading of diplomatic ties between china and norway over the past almost two years now so it is possible that this might play into the tensional observer

acknowledge the loss of the regulations and the whole of the arctic council which. for example states that you need to agree more on the law of the sea the arctic sea for example so so if they get an observer status. then they will never acknowledge the prior rights that are. held i wish we had more time for this we don't have professor of economics at the university of iceland thank you very much indeed for coming on r.t. today thank you. but right now it's. all of our stories are there in case you missed anything at all plenty more for you to explore the same time for example landing a plane over texting on you'll move pile of parents lee and australian pilot philip unlocked said it was far more urgent to find out if his destruction and if you could suffer that's a dodgy thought call. plus a look at town by any other name this austrian villagers tired of its unfortunate title. so it's ok to change it to something a little less obscene and not to mention simply the amount of road signs being stolen by overenthusiastic travelers of those details online about so you

jam here then of course the exploration of energy sources in the arctic circle would be a significant tip if you know eyes of china most of the known reserves are already in the hands of the western natives so any and discovered or sold and it's you sources do be imported in. cowardice under our of china and certainly china is looking to was so on benches with the arctic countries concerned as you tear up just mentioned iceland is an example sweden used also in our the example in fact sweden has already endorsed china's membership of the r.k. tongues or what you say the sweden has already endorsed china's membership of the arctic council but how does trying to go about getting support for this if that's possibly a position of having a carrot in front of a nation and offering money to buy its way in why would our claimants be willing to give china a chunk of the arctic. well the china option is attractive in a number of ways in the first place time has been money and you all know the exploration of and it's the resources can be the risky venture. providing the financial resources is al

what are the consequences for our planet if these resources in the arctic are tapped. i know it more fossil fuel i mean everything from burning the oil that comes out of that they might find the natural gas but they might find they increase shipping that will put more more pollution into the ecosystem up there that is just going to continue to exacerbate climate change i mean that the amount of pollution involved with drilling for fossil fuels is immense and then you do it in a place like the arctic which is an incredibly sensitive and use the metaphor again the canary in the coal mine and what's wrong with our energy policies as it's a horrible step down a path that we've been going down for far too long is there a potential in addition to destroying the arctic in addition to throwing more carbon here is there a potential for war in the arctic as well. well any time any time you look in the resources that people are talking about up there on the you have to look much further than geo political problems that day where we're talking about iran we've just gotten out of a

i doubt it is our conditions in more detail you know geographically china is no were near the arctic air and there have what i've great reversal and will find presence in the north self in this context could be should be overstretching it's our idea we cannot. estimate china's polar developments capability actually china has one up there was most advanced color research and development capabilities china has been investing a shooter amount of money and for a long time into this whole about among the courses i think china is actually said are very far away targets there no doubt this area is a very strategically important area and there are. a number of threats inside china very good. future development in the region. we cannot underestimate that's all right brian if you can how much do you think in china hope to achieve what if arctic ambitions. i think first of china will use always diplomatic skills to try to gain more support from from the not a country which are more friendly towards trial in this region are not a problem are another uses or china were also us is an army our each

but now hypothetically speaking if china gets access to a vital arctic reaches how much does it stand to gain in your opinion is there anything more than just financial incentives to this i would be financial and economic incentives are the primary goal of china and we're here. so. very much concerned about i would. say to a nation where europe. and the carriage and and and and and need we will everywhere so. i would be the primary doorway to. get access to resources and trade it in china and we. would be i think. we've just pointed out earlier there are some that while there is competition for this resources and he also reports that some countries like norway for example with the will do their best to ruin china's arctic ambitions so what can their reasoning before that in your opinion. you know you're right that. countries will respond obviously. when the new karma comes to the party it is understandable that you can use in members will actually be concerned. i think what i need to do here is to keep their league thing what it's kind of here and being so big that santa will play. by

to gain a foothold in the arctic region and its fastener g. resources let's get some analysis on this from francis long managing director of mycenaean holdings an investment company in can't thank you for joining us now after visiting iceland mining energy accords with the country there will the chinese premier be looking to strike similar deals in sweden on this visit. of course. you would give anything so i think. the size similar deal but i think in the key question the nordic sixty explosion i think speed with china. in fighting for resources. to. china never you find. because the arctic powers like. you. norway. we were not one. people would. be expression a strong. chinese now so china will have some tough people magically. china doesn't have any sovereign rights over our resources why is it getting a chance to play a role in the region's future at least trying to encourage it be overstretching itself. most definitely china's navy is not really not big enough to petro the arctic ocean as of now but. that will stop china's premier in tryi
