Representations of the Faroe Islands abroad
The Faroe Islands have diplomatic representations in Brussels, Reykjavík, London, Moscow, Beijing and Tel Aviv, Washington D.C., as well as a Representation in Copenhagen. The Representations in Brussels, London, Reykjavík, Moscow, Beijing, Tel Aviv, and Washington D.C. are established in cooperation with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, thus granting diplomatic status to the Faroese Heads of Representations.
The Faroese heads of Representations are the formal representatives of the government in relation to the authorities of the host countries/international organisations and local institutions.
The Representations keep abreast of matters of interest to the Faroe Islands. A natural part of their activities is working to promote the Faroe Islands and to show what the country has to offer, both in terms of the main industries, as well as in other fields that make the Faroe Islands an interesting partner. This includes highlighting the talent and diversity of Faroese arts and culture - music, visual art, literature, design, cuisine and other aspects of Faroese creativity
