Kofi Annan in Iceland today
He’s in Iceland to open a conference on the “Challenges of the 21st Century” held to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the University of Iceland. He will also use the opportunity to visit the Hellisheiðarvirkjun Geothermal Power Plant along with the President of Iceland. Interesting fact: Kofi in Icelandic means hut and annan means other.
