  Overview
The Northern Europe Initiative (NEI) is a U.S. Government strategy, led by the Department of State, to promote stability in the increasingly vital Baltic Sea region, bolster U.S. trade and investment there, and strengthen key Western institutions and security structures.

Geographically, the initiative encompasses all of the countries and areas bordering the Baltic Sea plus Iceland:

Denmark Iceland Poland
Estonia Latvia Northwest Russia

Northern Germany Norway
