    The Nordic Council of Ministers is an intergovernmental forum established after the Helsinki Treaty.[1] The purpose of the Nordic Council of Ministers is to complement the Nordic Council and promote Nordic cooperation.

    Structure[edit]

    The governments of the Nordic countries each have a Minister for Nordic Cooperation.[2][3] This responsibility often goes to the Minister of Foreign Affairs or another ministerial post that the Nordic country has a special desire for cooperation. These Ministers for Nordic Cooperation delegate meetings for other Ministers to discuss avenues for cooperation in the minister's respective fields, thus the Ministers for Cooperation set up Ministerial Councils. Hence the name, Council of Ministers.
