Sarah Boyack moved amendment S6M-08073.2— As an amendment to motion S6M-08073 in the name of Angus Robertson (Arctic Connections - Scotland’s Growing Links with the Arctic), leave out from “Scotland’s strategic role” to “developed there” and insert “the value of Scotland’s involvement in multilateral relations with Arctic nations; agrees on the value of increasing collaboration and building stronger relationships between Scotland and Arctic nations; recognises the importance of participation in educational programmes and sharing knowledge to promote sustainable development in the region and learn from best practice developed there; notes with concern Russia’s recent changes to its Arctic Policy, which remove reference to cooperation with the Arctic Council and instead prioritise ‘the national interests of the Russian Federation’; believes that any framework for Arctic cooperation must respect sovereignty and the rule of law, and that this is incompatible with the invasion and annexation of the sovereign territory of neighbouring states”.
