This afternoon, Icelandic President Halla Tomasdottir arrived in Beijing by plane, where she will attend the Global Women's Summit.

Icelandic women are active in all sectors of society.In 1980, Iceland had the world's first elected female president.

Women in China and Iceland are playing an increasingly important role in their respective national construction and social development. Over the years, the women's circles of both sides have maintained friendly ties, and the friendly relations between the All-China Women's Federation and Icelandic women's organizations have developed day by day, supporting the "half the sky" of China-Iceland friendship.
