Talking about countries like China and India and their interest in being observers at the Arctic Council—again, in terms of their future activities in the Arctic, particularly in relation to the environmental impacts of their activities up in the north, to have a framework such as an environmental protocol—would help to at least monitor and also maybe limit in some cases what kind of activities can take place, whether they are the Arctic or the non-Arctic countries.
So I think it is important to definitely acknowledge that interest from these countries is only going to increase, but how to accommodate them within an established framework, I think, would be the key.
