Foreign Minister Opens Website
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Valgerdur Sverrisdóttir, formally inaugurated the Pretoria embassy’s website at a ceremony on 26 February. The occasion was attended by Ministers and senior officials of the two governments, as well as numerous guests from the business and diplomatic communities. The symbolic act of opening the home page marked the embassy’s electronic accessibility via the web in addition to the earlier pathways to information enquirers might need. The event took place in the forecourt the embassy shares with the embassies of Norway and Sweden. Following speeches from Icelandic and South African Ministers, Mrs Sverrisdóttir used a computer keyboard to throw an image of the home page onto a large screen.
