Karen Ellemann is well qualified for this role, and we look forward to working with her,\u201d says Minister for Nordic Co-operation, Anne Beate Tvinnereim.<\/p>\n<p>Ellemann is a trained primary school teacher and held a number of managerial roles in the private sector before entering politics in 2005. She has also chaired the Nordic Association and shown a incredible level of commitment to Nordic co-operation. Furthermore, Ellemann has never been shy to speak up when she thinks the Nordic countries could co-operate better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u201cI\u2019m very pleased to be entrusted with the role of Secretary General. In light of the situation the world now finds itself in, Nordic co-operation appears more relevant than it has done for many years.
