- Abstract
The Faroe Islands have representations in Reykjavik, Copenhagen, London, Moscow, Brussels and Beijing and associated membership in several international organizations. The independent action of the Faroe Islands on the international scene in recent years have caught public attention and raised controversial questions. Most recently concerning Huawei, where the Chinese ambassador in Copenhagen visiting Tórshavn was subsequently accused of making accepting Huawei equipment in Faroese 5G net a precondition for a Sino-Faroese trade agreement. A few years earlier, Faroese fish exports to Russia and the mackrel dispute with the EU had raised eyebrows in Copenhagen and raised the question of the position of the Faroe Islands in the Kingdom of Denmark. This article gives an overview of Faroese foreign affairs and the background for the current cases concerning Huawei, Russia, the mackrel dispute and the EU blockade, and seeks to place Faroese international affairs in a historical and geostrategic framework.
